The Beautiful

No word has more meaning, more dimension or more interpretations than ‘Beautiful’. In fact, there really is no true way to define it. You can’t describe it with absolute certainty. You can’t tell or show someone something and be sure they will regard it as beautiful. You can point out characteristics, identify certain qualities and quantify features in a way that have been historically thought of as beautiful, but you cannot determine a standard of beauty for anyone other than for yourself. For me, “Beautiful” is our human connection to that which we regard as spiritually moving. Beautiful has nothing to do with the way something or someone physically appears to us. It has only to do with what we make from that appearance. Beautiful is in everything and everyone. And it is in equal amounts in all things, at all times. Beauty is the stuff in between the pieces and the parts. It is what draws our eye and races our hearts. It is in places you expect as much as in those that you don’t. Oftentimes you don’t see the beauty until long after you’ve experienced it. But it has always been there, is there now and will eternally be there forever and for always.
