Beauty is an Essential Ingredient for the Sanity Of Humanity
But Some of Us are Better Prepared for It than Others
Some things in life are stable and remain with us no matter what happens. Breath is a good example; breath as the air you breathe or, some might say, are being breathed with.
Breath enters, animates, and leaves until the next inhalation. Exhaled back into the surroundings you currently occupy, floating around, picked up by your houseplants to filter it clean. Perhaps leaving out the window or inhaled by the next person in the same space. Or dispersed more swiftly and ethereally, forever to mix with other elements, then to disappear from the atmosphere known to us. Leaving for the unknown, death in the form of a last breath.
This is what I call beauty.
Not the only beautiful phenomenon in life’s reservoir of beauties made available to earth’s creatures, but definitely one of the more significant ones from where I’m standing. Your viewpoint is likely different, and you might not call what I just described beauty at all. For you, it will be something else.
Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but some beholders experience more of it than others.
