true beauty

I saw the most beautiful thing today: 9 babies in a stroller. Babies are quite beautiful, especially when they are happy, smiling and talking as these children were. But I think these babies struck me as extraordinary, because they were being strolled through the nursing home. Their vibrance and vitality shined brighter than the death and sadness in that dismal place for the few moments that they were there. I just leaned back, smiled, and basked in their sunlight.
