@SophiaCycles Beauty's baptism. "When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us." - John O'Dohonue ?s=20&t=3dpuecb8oUIDKDAofaNcRA

[In] many of the ancient cultures, an encounter of depth and spirit was preceded by careful preparation and often involved a carefully phased journey of approach. Attention, respect and worthiness belonged to the event of nearing and disclosure. What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace. When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us.

The hidden heart of beauty offers itself only when it is approached in a rhythm worthy of its trust and showing.

@TGBelt @noonessleep Hello, Thomas! In truth, I sense a worthy answer embraces a semiotic radiance transcending traditional modes of expression. I can, however, approach a greater assimilative space 'hypertextually.' My subtweet above, opens a dimension upon your question. Perhaps a baptismal dip?
