| | Why does no one recognize beauty? Acknowledging the wonders of this world has become a lost practice. Each blade of grass, the delicacy of a spiderweb, the feathers on a wings of a bird; why don't we stop and look at these things? Light enters your eyes in the form of a picture, upside down, flying through your neurons as electric signals faster than any other thing that we have discovered. How does an apple on a tree know how to reflect just the delicious red light? I'm starting to make a practice of stopping every once in a while, and looking around. I just take it all in. And I'll focus on something, anything, and ponder it. Sand. A candle. Tea. Paint. A lightbulb. Fire. Happiness. Death. I try to look at it from all 360 degrees. I see the good, I see the bad. I recognize the beauty, I recognize the feelings it gives me. I think I'm coming to realize that there are infinite amazing wonders in this earth. Just when I think there's nothing else to see, I find something new. And I'm coming to learn that the more beauty I realize, the more love I see everywhere. The world has such love for itself. It shines the stars at night so the ocean can see. It grows flowers for the sky to love. Why do we hate the world so much that we ignore it's loveliness? We're just ignoring how much the world loves us. Start to realize it. Close your eyes and just try to feel it. It's astounding.
