Finding Beauty Within
a hummingbird
A dear friend sent me a letter and handmade card in the mail tday. On the utside f the card was a cutut picture f a hummingbird in mid-flight. With its wings, it flew deep int a flwer. Belw it was a qute (引述) by Russian writer Fydr Dstyevsky: “The wrld will be saved by beauty.” I smiled with bth my face and heart when I saw it.
Lking at it reminded me f all the beauty in this wrld. I thught abut the beautiful green frested muntains f my hme. I thught f the fields f summer wildflwers blessing the wrld with their clrs. I thught f the blue ceans that stretched frm hrizn (地平线) t hrizn. I thught f the sunsets in the desert with their deep, rich reds and glrius (灿烂的) glds. I thught f all kinds f animals: green hummingbirds, white plar bears, red birds and gray wlves. I thught f the silver mn smiling dwn frm the sky surrunded by a sea f stars.
Yet, I knew that it wasn’t the beauty f any f thse things that wuld save the wrld. It was instead the beauty f human suls (内心,心灵) filled with light and lve. It was these suls s full f lve fr each ther and fr this wrld that wuld save ur planet. It was this lve wrking thrugh peple that wuld make this wrld truly beautiful.
My friend wh sent me the card is ne f these peple. She, her husband and her family are ging thrugh s many struggles right nw. Still, she cntinues t share her lve and make this wrld a better place every single day. She cntinues t wrk t save ur hme by giving it the beauty f her sul.

Tm’s wrds made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tm his apple s that he culd have a chance t paint the fence. If Tm had thught abut nthing but cmplaining, he wuld have had a bad day.
