by Henri Nouwen
We don't have to go far to find the treasure we are seeking. There is beauty and goodness right where we are.

And only when we can see the beauty and goodness that are close by can we recognize beauty and goodness on our travels far and wide.
The School of Athens by Raphael in the Vatican
Pietra by Michelangelo in St. Peter's Basilica
The Roman Forum
There are trees and flowers to enjoy, paintings and sculptures to admire; most of all there are people who smile, play, and show kindness and gentleness. They are all around us, to be recognized as free gifts to receive in gratitude.
