In the past month or so I have spoken to so many beautiful people and I really am starting to understand what true beauty is. Now, I have never been the most superficial person but yes, I am prone to bouts of vanity - especially in my past. The past few weeks have been one of personal and spiritual exploration and although I wouldn't call it the start of my journey (that started when my soul took its place in this body) I would say that I have passed a milestone - one of acceptance and understanding of what I truly want from this life.
I feel more fulfilled than ever before and this is due to a number of things including taking more time to reflect (helped very much so by the current fast) and mainly the interaction with some beautiful people. I have never in my life walked in to the house of someone that I have never met and felt so at home. Each and every person greeted me with warmth and compassion radiating from inside. I found that each person I met had something special and unique about them - each had a kindness and a pureness that radiated outwards. This beauty was felt through every word they spoke but I am also pretty sure it made them "glow". Glow is the only word I can use as it is something indescribable but I truly felt that their beautiful hearts really did make them more aesthetically beautiful to me.
I am learning to grow, to be kinder, to think better of people and I have felt the difference since taking the time to reflect. The fast has so far helped me focus my energy, to consider everybody's points of view and to be selfless.
