I really like how this speech starts off. It reads, " All beauty is loved by those who are able to perceive beauty, for the perception of beauty is a delight in itself ". When people are able to become more aware of beauty they come to a greater appreciation or the many beautiful things. It then goes on to talk about all of the many things with beauty, the birds, trees, plants, running water, flowers, etc. It then says, " It cannot be denied that where beauty is perceived it is natural to love it, an if it is certain that god is beauty, he must be loved by those whom his beauty and his majesty are revealed". We see the many beautiful things that god has made and know that he is the creator and maker of all beauty. We come to an appreciation that god has made all these beautiful things for our good and how much he wants us to do good. Everything that is good is from god. It reads, " In truth, there is nothing good or beautiful or beloved in this world that does not come from his lovingkindness and is not the gift of his grace, a draught from the sea of his bounty". Although it may be hard to realize that all good things come from god, as we do, it will be easier to look for the positive instead of the negative. This will allow us to come to realize that god wants the best for us and in doing so he gives us his friends, family and this beautiful world to learn and grow. Great speech.
