Something Beautiful. What's it for?

The answers are as varied as the witnesses.

Emerson, another American Poet who turned to essays to help Our Country, said something like: Even if we travelled the whole world to find something beautiful, if we didn't have beauty within us, we'd never find it.

He was right about a great many things. That's one of them.

Only beautiful people have the opportunity to experience Beauty.

Consider music. Certain arrangements of notes sound a certain way when working together.

I believe Beauty is a harmonious relationship between the witness and what they observe.

The way some notes sound better, sound right, so some experiences in life bring a successful harmony with our witness of them.

The Beauty we have sounds a harmonious chord with the Beauty of the World.

Just like in music it takes three separate entities to make a true harmony. The witness, the viewer, and their relationship.

I say that every sunrise is beautiful. And, for me, it's true because I willingly recognize it.

Our star knows the dawn is beautiful, that life is worth color and sustenance, and so my recognition of its value brings a harmony between us.

Certain flowers know they're beautiful.

"Wynn, are you suggesting flowers are conscious?"

They certainly know how to grow and do adapt their patterns to reach for The Sun.

To recognize a beautiful flower is to recognize a life well-lived.

"Good job, rose! Well-lived!" We tell every beautiful rose with our recognition.

There are all kinds of ways for a person to be beautiful.

There's the cosmetics and fashion way. Some paint and costume themselves in a beautiful ways.

There's a healthy physique. Those that care for their body in a beautiful way.

There's poetic language. Those that care for the beautiful ways of words exemplify this trait. O/

If we take the example of the rose as an indication of the way of Beauty works, then a recognition of something beautiful is a recognition of a job well-lived.

Our Sun lighting our galaxy painting and sustaining life with color and sound... good job star! Well-lived!

The Earth keeps cranking around, too. The planet is Beautiful. Good job Mother Earth! Well-lived!

Thanks for reading.
