Show Notes

This episode explores how moments of beauty can interrupt our mental habits and reconnect us with presence. Whether it’s light through leaves, a piece of music, or the sound of wind chimes, beauty can cut through the trance of constant thought. We reflect on how to become more available to those moments, to linger in them, and to let them open space in our busy minds. Beauty, in this sense, becomes a gateway to awareness and a form of real practice. This talk was given on July 2, 2025 at the Heart of Wisdom Temple Wednesday night program.
