Inside the Minds of Valerie and Mike (and Anna)
12. A Guide should train herself to look for what is beautiful everything so that she may become strong enough in her mind to avoid listening to, or taking part in, anything that is ugly or unclean. 13. Life without an appreciation of beauty is like a dull day without sunshine. Footsteps of the founder: the... Continue Reading →
