For the Soul

Watch ...

Here is some proof that humans are capable of creating real beauty out of almost nothing:



Now, wasn't that pretty? I don't understand why this is called a "glass harp," as the crystal sounds more like some sort of mystical pan pipe to me, but "a rose by any other name" ...

I would like to share a wonderful piece of art http://musabenedetta.deviantart.com/art/A-Thing-of-Beauty-139609668 that my dear friend Samantha (musabenedetta.blogspot.com // musabenedetta.deviantart.com) created for "Bright Star" ~ and dedicated it to me! I am honored and thankful. Take a look at it, and while you're at it, check out her wonderful gallery and blog!

UPDATES ...

Today has been a busy one, filled with studying! I am learning that I really am incapable of writing comedy, as our latest Shakespeare class assignment is proving.

I still plan to blog about the Air, Fire, Spirit, and Water; and also some lovely metaphysical concepts that I am studying in my Asian Religions class.

As for the heart: I have a most beautiful and delightful boyfriend, and his visit tonight (though too brief) reminded me once again of how lucky I am. I am inspired constantly, and he revives my soul and allows me to fully appreciate the beauty around me ... not that I didn't before, but don't you agree that love shapes our perspective in ways full-glorious and unexpected?
