Beauty is Eternally Free

Beauty is Eternally Free
Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai’i

I picked some fresh Plumeria blossoms and a branch of blooming Bougainvillea and tossed them onto the luxurious black sand of Hamoa Beach and was only able to get a couple of shots when a wave came in and carried them out to sea.

“Hidden behind the veil of mystery,
Beauty is eternally free from the slightest stain of imperfection.

From the atoms of the world,
He created a multitude of mirrors;
into each one of them
He cast the image of His Face;
To the awakened eye,
anything that appears beautiful is only a reflection of that Face.
Now that you have seen the reflection, hurry to its Source;
In that primordial Light the reflection vanishes completely.

Do not linger far from that primal Source;
When the reflection fades, you will be lost in darkness.
The reflection is as transient as the smile of a rose;
If you want permanence,
turn towards the Source;
If you want fidelity,
look to the Mine of faithfulness.
Why tear your soul apart over something here one moment
and gone the next?” ~ by Jami ~ Translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut
