The Metric is Beauty

Sunday, May 17, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

Idyllic.

Calm, cool, the sunrise shows Spring.

Robins and finches announce the dawn. The new green of budding leaves sets the scene, glows golden hues under a cloudless soft blue sky.

If that loud robin were an alarm clock, you'd press its snooze button and watch the quaint light feed the new growing world in silence.

But songbirds and dreamers sing an idyllic Spring morning a different song.

Beauty filters through each Earth-bound one of us and reverberates its shining tune in unique wonderful ways, when we're brave enough to welcome it in.

Beauty is Life working right.

The flower that best fulfills the dream of its seed makes the most beautiful bloom.

A successful life is measured in beautiful moments. When we have a dream, and we work to see it made real, that seeing moment is a beautiful thing.

We know what trees and flowers, birds and bees, strive to do with their lives.

But what about people? What functions best define a successful human life?

For me, the metric is Beauty.

We hold a dream and work with the tools Life provides to make it real.

How are your dreams, dear reader?

Beautiful, I'm sure.

The World could use your Beautiful Dreams shared right now.

If posting this journal everyday helps even one person find a little more courage to see their dreams made reality, I'll consider it a win.

And, of course, a pun.

Thanks for reading.
