Who says that beauty is only in the eye of the beholder? The fact that THERE IS A BEHOLDER who possesses a SENSE OF BEAUTY is more mysterious and beautiful than any particular object could ever be!
The soul hankers for life's full adventure, and beauty holds up signposts towards aliveness and flourishing. Beauty lets us envision life's inner workings breaking thru to the surface. There is a storehouse filled with many aspects of beauty; once we've been enticed to enter by one doorway, we want to see all other aspects. Sometimes it's the vulnerability and strength of a tender young life; sometimes it is simple grace; sometimes it is dappled and layered; sometimes it is sadly transient.

Another excellent prose poem! I think I have found good material to read here!
Beauty on the eyesight brings a knowledge apparently; then supplies a chain command our sense of acceptance; then our sense makes an activities in our brain with some logic; sometimes this logic certifies in practical sense of our mind; if the insightful mind is prepared by itself wisdom then it accept it beautifully otherwise it leaves.......
a brilliant as well as philosophical writings on the beauty and our rational sense as well as logical mind of accepting all the existence in beautiful way ///
Interesting write, Denis. I sometimes ask myself what makes something beautiful. Why is a house, trees, a mountain reflected in the water of a pond or lake beautiful? And why are some people’s faces universally considered beautiful? Why don’t you take these thoughts and succinctly sum them up in a poem?
Thanks for posing this challenge. I have thought about this subject. Half a notebook of musings was lost during a tumultuous family move. Maybe even that loss was beautiful! The soul hankers for the full adventure of life, and beauty is a signpost toward aliveness and flourishing. Beauty lets us envision life's inner workings breaking thru to the surface.
There is whole storehouse of aspects of beauty. Any one aspect opens the door, then we want to see others. Sometimes it's the vulnerability and strength of a tender young life; sometimes it's simple grace; sometimes it's dappled and layered; sometimes it's poignantly transient. Always showing the power and possibilities of life force for us to resonate with.
Who says that beauty is only in the eye of the beholder? The fact that THERE IS A BEHOLDER possessing a SENSE OF BEAUTY is more mysterious and beautiful than any particular object could ever be. This says it all for the the philosophy and aesthetics of beauty. Very well written Denis.......10
A great read having aspects of science, philosophy and poetry.Yes, this Universe has unending beauty.The mathematical puzzles too have beauty of their own.Only the persons having aesthetical sense can appreciate beauty.I think your grandson will grow up to be an artist or poet in future.
Wow! You have a brilliant mind, to see the beauty of life is to feel an inner joy, a curious wonder at nature's secrets, at our own fragile emotions, the beauty of kindness. Yes when we find beauty within the darkness it is a light that shines from deep within us. An outstanding write!
