In Beauty'. But sometimes the world didn't see him (or any of us associated with him) that way. His way of 'raging in beauty' didn't fit into what society saw as normal or peaceful at all, but I'm reminded today that Klee saw beauty in everything. If it didn't exist in something, he did something about it, he spoke the truth on it. He was someone who lived and breathed beauty, love, kinship, respect ... he embodied hózhó -- we should all be like that.</p><p>"I'm one of three still here at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TaalaHooghan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaalaHooghan</span></a> Infoshop.
