Beauty: A Cure for Loneliness

What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured. -  Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

I imagine spaces where there is beauty that cries out for us to believe that if He came once, He will come again; beauty that shines a light, giving us just a glimmer of what could be; beauty that slowly knits our broken bits back together; beauty that connects us to one another and to our Creator.

I imagine spaces where the beauty is so potent it literally forms, fashions, and shapes communities where people can know and be known.

I imagine spaces where beauty helps to cure our loneliness.
