  2. Create and Participate in Beauty “A pivotal human quality is our ability to create and to participate in beauty. The Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky exclaimed "Beauty will save the world!" We need to create, to protect, and to foster beauty in all its guises…Writing a poem, painting a picture, fighting to preserve the beauty of nature, or creating a lovely home are just a few of the infinite ways we can participate in the beauty of God, share that beauty with others, and thereby help "save the world.“ http://www.spirituallifeinstitute.org/about%20us.html
