Beauty


The most beautiful of moments are experienced in the most unexpected circumstances or in the most simple of things; like a smile or a blooming flower. As they say; 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. This, however, has a deeper meaning often neglected, for beauty is not just a perspective of each and every one of us, but a happening. Beauty is not something we see but something we understand. 

How often have you ever looked at a flower and never thought of it as beautiful? We only know beauty when we want to experience beauty. That feeling of awe, unknowingly to us, bubbles through all the other emotions and churns within our brains. This in turn causes a sense of bliss, or joy or happiness. Beauty is that moment in which we realize that the object or event we are experiencing is in fact real. The beauty in a flower is the colours that reflect into our eyes. It is the reflection of life within it that transcends into the notion of being beautiful. 

Beauty is an experience. It is not an emotion nor just an adjective. It is beyond both of those. And to live in beauty is to live a life worth living.
