In summer 2010, I bought a stunning candle—a bust of the Buddha, pearl white and 12" tall by 12" wide at the base. With his head bowed and his eyes closed, the Buddha is peace. The following New Year, I created this blog to share something beautiful every week until this candle has burned through. Finding the time to meditate to burn this candle is hard, let alone photographing/ posting on a weekly basis. But I have made this vow to myself, because beauty persists in this world, no matter what.

Rushing Water Falls
Today I hiked the Nashoba Brook trail. The brook runs through this conservation land from north to south, and I encountered it in a number of spots along my way.
At this spot, I sat for some time facing the sun, feeling the warmth on my face and letting the sound of the water fill my listening. As the water fell closer toward the light it slowed.
Rushing water falls, and only when it slows down and becomes calm can it reflect its own beauty and its place in everything around it.
