What if the beauty you’re searching for has been quietly surrounding you all along?
“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” ~ Marcus Aurelius
Reflection
Marcus Aurelius reminds us that beauty is not something we chase; it is something we notice. Life offers wonder every day, but hurried minds miss it. To dwell on beauty is to slow down long enough to remember that we belong to something vast and meaningful. When we look at the stars, perspective returns—our worries shrink, and our sense of purpose expands. Imagining ourselves running with the stars is an invitation to live with curiosity, courage, and grace. Even amid struggle, beauty remains available. It steadies us, lifts us, and quietly urges us to live larger than fear.
