Beauty

"The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks."

Its easy to find beauty in life. Specifically nature.

Flowers. Clouds. A vine growing.

A baby.

A puppy or kitty.

A blade of grass.

A zebra.

Art.

Music.

The sounds certain trees make in the wind.

"In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it. Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty --he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world --alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty."

Yes, "man" has created beauty. It is his mind to perceive. However, wouldn't life be a little bit nicer if we all perceived a little more beauty in the world? To not walk past the flowers, to not be in a hurry, to notice the tiny, small, almost unnoticeable things.

I feel as if one were to perceive more beauty, they will be happier. Also, I feel as if more people were happy they would be more beautiful inside and out. The happier a person is the more keen they are to notice the tiniest little things and see them as blessings and to be grateful for them and for life.

"There's beauty all around our paths, if but our watchful eyes can trace it midst familiar things, and through their lowly guise."
