Beauty
Today I wanted to write about Beauty. Webster defines the word as the following :
1: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit : loveliness
2: a beautiful person or thing ; especially : a beautiful woman
3: a particularly graceful, ornamental, or excellent quality
4: a brilliant, extreme, or egregious example or instance
The beauty I would be speaking of, would not touch any of this :) So ride with me on a motorcycle into my own world of beauty...
In the quietude of the evening sunset, with the silent cars leaving their shallow trails of engine roars in the air, one ponders if the winds afar is speaking something to you. In the dimming light, the stars pop out of nowhere; the same stars that steal our sight when we were a child. To find beauty in these stars isn't the hardest thing in the world for a child. For they capture our imagination, and we are left drawing spoons, and imaginary creatures on the canvass of the sky. The joy of creating something out of nothing has always been everything for the creative minded for a long time. There is thus beauty in creation, and discovering.
Expanding upon the aspect of beauty I touched above, lets travel to another area of beauty. The beauty in understanding. When a clamour of twines and twangs doesn't make sense to you, one cannot find beauty even in the most beautiful musical instrument.
But when you begin to connect the patterns of the various musical notes, with duality of the constant rhythm, and variations in pitch constantly adoring the unchanging, even the most unkindful of souls drown in the ecstasy that is music. When the deaf experience the same effect, but in the notes made by actions, they are able to feel the beauty that is present in this aspect of duality expressed in life. This is the beauty that is experienced by one's senses initially, but becomes that of our being with the depth of the experience. Touching the shores of knowledge, where anyone else hasn't touched before also yeilds the sense of serenity, which can possess any person to madness and thus beauty. :)
Beauty essentially lies in the experience. Only when we become one with the experience can anyone really get closer to beauty. However, it is in a person's feeling, the familiar playground for beauty expresses itself more fully. I felt great !! That is one of the phrases we say when we went through a great experience or after accomplishing something that never was. Yet, it is no more than a feeling of elation to take one to the realms beyond the physical.
Perhaps, the feeling we experience when we are with someone, could be the closest thing we have ever experienced to beauty. Each of us have a story to tell about that.
About how even the most quietest of silence with a particular person can evoke the greatest of excitement racing in our hearts. Everybody have experienced this. And will cherish this facet of beauty in their whole life. Sometimes its capable of bringing a smile in our face when we remember those instances. That is truly beautiful. For it is in those rare moments, that we are able to put down all the veils of shadow we cast upon ourselves, and shine in the resplendent light that we truly are. Perhaps it is the most beautiful thing, to realize that we discover ourselves through another person. The world, filled with its heavy traffic noise, is capable of making us forget who we are, and who we were. Yet it is the beauty in the moment, that is truly being expressed, when the moment occupies the other person without any strings attached. :)
Here ends my journey through this beautiful world, under the deep blue sky with a green pine tree ravishing the undercurrent voices of daily life :)
