Design: Finding Numinosity & Beauty

This is what I know, for sure, in seeking beauty & numinosity.
.
They take conscious effort, never arrive in the expected, and leverage every layer of living with energy & calm.

Seeking numinosity, & beauty is. too often. suspect.
.
From the outside it seems beyond plodding.  Perhaps dereliction of duty?  Yet, results say otherwise.
.
If you have read this far I know you want more than a pretty garden, you are seeking numinosity, and beauty.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come. 
Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.'   Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.
.
Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'.  Saved the article for a year before reading it.  Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.
.
Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0.  A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life.  Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact.  Signed up  for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow
.
Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method.  Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.
What do YOU want?
.
Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.
.
Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.

Just so you know... 

 I  welcome your input.

Numinosity. Such a perfect word. With the indirect reference to luminous, and hence the glowing life of things.
