On Being Strong

Our precious Starshine -

STRIVE.


Strength is primarily expressed in the masculine.

Strength is fidelity to the truth; a measure of its brightness.

It is the noble glow of its own conviction; the ascendant magnitude of our every embrace of all those living and everliving things that belong to the timelessness in our souls.

Strength is secure in its patience being sure of the reality of itself; born of the light that understands the exactness of its own truth.

It is not harsh and uncertain of its own reality; born not of the lie that in the darkness understands not itself.

Strength is certain in its meekness. It is a temper of the will that neither rises nor falls but is even and steadfast against the assault of false things.

It is not a hardness that hides its unfamiliarity to its own virtue; being established not by ignorance of the value of the beautiful things it exists to serve and to keep.

It is not coldness. It is not distance. It is not decrease.

It is warmth. It is presence. It is increase.

Love the LORD, thy God, in everything and with everything. This is the truth.

On Being Beautiful

Our precious Starshine -

DO NOT DESPAIR.


Beauty is primarily expressed in the feminine.

It is a state. You were born in it. For you are thus, and so with all beautiful things must strive to return to our LORD with it, being as you are - in the way that you are constantly remembered by our God in eternity.

Beauty is joyful. Eternally youthful. It is not a feeling. It is never passing.

Beauty is chaste. It can be claimed only by Love. It is not carnal. Invincible against lust.

Beauty is free -

You do not have to strive to be beautiful, precious Starshine, for Beauty is somewhere you may always return to, in your heart of hearts, a sufficiency that you share with the one Beautiful.

Nor must must others approve of your being yourself - for as flowers must bloom in their own time, so will you - therefore, Beloved of God, establish your roots in the timeless image and likeness within thyself and strive everyday to reach out into the outside world that needs so much of what you have to offer.

Beauty is a thing beheld by the one Beautiful and so rejoices in God her savior.
