To restore beauty, it is necessary to give beauty abundantly, even as instinct tells us to flee. In other words, we have to begin the metamorphosis by transforming our own expectations of what it is possible for us to do… Daring to touch the unbeautiful, we realize that not only are we not dragged down into something loathsome, but that just the reverse occurs. We feel empowered, joyous, connected with the other. To give beauty—to our own misshapen selves, to another person, to a group of people, even to a damaged place on the earth—is to move past the fear or repugnance that keep us separate from life itself. To restore beauty is to marry the world, outside us and within. ~ Trebbe Johnson
