Sweetness

Sweetness is mastery of senses. Eyes that see to the back of things, ears that hear to the heart of things, lips that only speak the essence of things. It is also the result of a long journey inwards to the core of life and the ability to rest there and watch. Sweetness looks for the good in things, for at its heart is the conviction that good is somewhere there in everything, if only you have the patience to discover it. It is also the virtue of the very young who have not lost their optimism and sometimes the very old, in whose contracting lives, every moment is worth a lot and whose part has become a handpicked list of memories which time cannot take from them. Sweetness has to be accumulated because it is your life greatest wealth.
