Well, it makes sense. Because then, everything becomes beautiful. One
begins to recognize the superlative in all things.

There's a Navajo ... prayer, I suppose. It's all about beauty. Beauty to
the left of me, beauty to the right of me. Beauty before me, beauty
behind me. Beauty above me, beauty below me. I walk in beauty.

Once one recognizes this, I would guess that everything blurs at the
edges.

Best,
Cecilia.
