"To be beautiful means
to be yourself."
Thich Nhat Hanh
Beauty is found in the eyes of a child; in the perfection of a floral bouquet; the star or moon; vast waters; or an architectural structure. Whatever direction our vision takes, our eyes slowly fall upon something to be valued.
There are numerous degrees of beauty and time might enhance or damage the radiance. The degree in which beauty is cared for can extend our attraction or bring it to extinction. It is odd, to me, that beauty and value are not necessarily appreciated in the place of origin.
Our individual perceptions may be so colored by experience, we may disregard certain elements of beauty. Our chosen focus may be so narrow the expanse of natural beauty may never be noticed. With freedom, we colorfully cover perfection with hideous masks. Tell me, when you gaze into the mirror, what beauty do you see? How do you value this unique image looking back at you?
