Beautiful
I find it ironic to be writing about such a topic today. You see today is one of my least favorite days of the year. It is just a sad reminder to me of how I frequently feel, alone.
As I meandered my way through the forum topics, certain people began to stand out. It was the way they presented themselves through their words, the style of their writing. I became captivated as I read through this beautiful writing. It wasn’t the topics, it was the presentation that was filled with feeling an emotion in the words being displayed.
It is interesting that one of the most commons sayings you hear throughout your life is, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” I think that is completely wrong. Believing that some thing or someone is beautiful is not about the visual or audible aspect. It is about the feeling in your heart that arises when you see or hear that person or see that sunrise or sunset. It is that feeling in your heart when you hear the laugh of a child. That is what defines in your soul what is beautiful to you and only you.
That feeling will make you stop and see things you wouldn’t necessarily notice. It can happen anywhere, because of anything or any person. It is something that science cannot explain away with logic or data because it comes from your heart. That is where you hold it, you treasure it, to keep if there forever. That is what beautiful is.

Agreed – there is so much more to beauty than what we see or hear. I found a quote from Helen Keller that speaks to this. She said the most beautiful things couldn’t be seen or touched, but must be felt by the soul.

You are absolutely right, I never thought about it that way before!
