Where I Find Beauty

It's there when you look down a long, meandering dirt road.

When a stranger smiles at me.

My well broken-in pair of jeans.

When an animal puts their full weight on you as if to say, "I trust you".

The beauty when two people shift together in their sleep as if it were a well rehearsed dance, landing softly still in a dream state...

In mystery. In not saying it all. In discovery and waiting to be discovered. In holding back.

In a well dressed person having dinner alone, looking peaceful and content.

A well blended choir on a Sunday morning singing old hymns.

In wonder.

The wonder of music and where it even comes from. Music is like the wind. You can't touch it or see it but you feel it and hear it.

The wonder of dreaming of all the things that can be made possible in this life and the decision to also feel at peace in being exactly where I am.

The way it felt when I would walk down a block in NYC and could hear more than 5 different languages being spoken by those I was passing. It faced me with my humanity which felt scary and gave me a sense of awe at the same time.

People watching in the airport while enjoying a glass of chablis.

A bustling grocery store during the holiday knowing that everyone is stocking up for a good time with those they love.

Lighting candles in the morning instead of turning on lights.

Prioritizing sunrises and sunsets.

Cherishing conversation with others, strangers or not.

Beauty in being, thinking, doing... it is an act of rebellion.

Beauty in being a rebel.

Finding beauty is my form of protection from the trappings of this world.

The more beauty I find, the more I find :)

Happy Holidays Everyone! I am so grateful for you!
