October 24 @ 4:30 pm – October 26 @ 11:30 am
Beauty ~ A Fall Retreat
Beauty is everywhere:
~ In the petals of a flower and the vista over fall foliage at a distance;
~ In the dance of a honey bee and the sway of an African elephant;
~ In waves on the seashore and the ripples on a brook;
~ In the face of a friend and the muscle of an Olympic athlete;
~ In a view through a microscope or a telescope;
~ All around and within us.
