Learn to appreciate what’s well made.
Art, music, a meal…
Buried inside quality is spirit. And to appreciate quality is to appreciate another’s spirit.
And what is it that does the appreciating exactly? …That’s right: your spirit.
Appreciating is as good for our spirit as it is for others’. We cannot pour love from a cup that doesn’t already contain love. And appreciating is a means that both gives and generates love.
…It’s a process that ameliorates the quality of life for all involved.
Equally important: avoid what’s spiritless—both from others and in what you choose to make.
Life is too short. The benefits of doing the opposite are too large.
And after all… what could possibly prove to be more important than the nourishment and growth of our and others’ spirit?
…Spirit, I think you’ll realize, is the very essence of it all.
