            There’s an annual Small World Photomicrography Competition going on that aims to showcase “the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope.”  The photographs that were taken reveal what is not visible to the naked eye.  It’s there and it’s beautiful, it’s just not visible without magnification.

            One of the photographs is a picture of two cancer cells that are at the stage where they are just about to divide.  They are beautiful and repulsive at the same time.  The cells are not visible to the naked eye, but they are still there, ready at any moment to cause pain, despair and even death.

            I had a friend in Tulsa who was always smiling. No matter what the weather, or his circumstance, or situation, he always had a radiant smile on his face.  I asked him one day why his eyes always looked so bright and sparkling and he said, “Clean windows.”  What he meant was that he didn’t carry bitterness, resentment, anger or jealously in his soul.  His soul was clean.

            Our light and our beauty can only shine through when we clear out the cobwebs and find the way to love.  Love is light. Sometimes it’s miniscule, invisible to the naked eye, but love is always beautiful.
