"Beauty" one response to schools cutting art and music

7/2/2013

 
I was so upset by the cutting of art and music from so many school curriculum that I grumped for many days.  Then I asked myself, "Self, what small thing could you create that would make a creative, constructive contribution to the negative atmosphere?"  The book I have loved the most that speaks about Beauty is by the Poet, John O'Donohue-- Beauty, the Divine Embrace.  I created a lovely Power Point with Scottish music, lovely images, and quotations from John's book.  This became the basic for my little response to an American culture that dismisses Beauty as unimportant, easily expendable.   An abbreviated Power Point is on the home page of my website:  Beauty, Nudges from Our Inward Teacher.  Click here to go directly to the slide show; at the top click "slide show;" at the top left click "beginning slide."  In a few seconds the Point Point will appear; wait...wait... the first few slides slow us down, and then the music and quotations about Beauty begin.  May it spread like a happy spring vine.
