Beauty and love

The following is a quote from Stealing Benefacio's Roses by Martin Prechtel.  If you haven't read anything by him...you will enjoy the beauty of his words and his descriptions of otherworldly things as well as this world. 
"It is about how long it takes to become a human being.  It seems to say that humans are most useful to the Universe when they are blessing, especially when the unblessed become the blessers and when humans give their gifts to what they can't see;  when they turn the failure and grief of their losses into

life-giving beauty and when they are in love"

We all have losses and grief and we all have the capacity to bless others and to love.

This being human, is challenging and beautiful and I'm so glad to be here now.
