The earth is beautiful and so are people, animals, things and I don’t know what to do about it. I got no gift for them, no purpose. Someone please tell me I’m beautiful too….it’s been a while….
The snow is falling again Arjun. Is it beautiful because it is? Does the beauty come from the individual’s ability to experience it and to express it. Who decides how much and what, is enough?
It is beautiful even to a sinner and me. there ain’t no quest, no revelation, that’s the real beauty, nothing to quantify. Take it in and let it be and we be..
I wonder if one already has to believe and to know that the self is beautiful, in order for any outside words or expressions to have any meaning–perhaps better yet, to remain only words floating past the knowledge of the self.
And what shall we do about it indeed? I am reading a wonderful book called “Braiding Sweetgrass” which talks about the gifts of love and gratitude we can bring to the world. And how so few of us (or how few times) we actually take the time to acknowledge this. And how many native cultures had/have rituals of gratitude. How very different from our culture of consumerism.

Beauty seems to touch me on a primal level, where the only meaning required is existence…
