Disclaimer: This was originally a journal page, but i felt the need to blog it... so here it goes:
Beauty is everywhere. Beauty is something held deep within each and every soul. This is not to say that every soul is beautiful, but rather we all possess beauty. We own it inside of us and reveal it in ways that are beautiful to some and just plain ugly to others. Beauty is transparent, raw, and candid. Beauty has no eyes or ears. It feels, radiates and pierces to the deepest parts of our core. Beauty is essential to the survival and health of the human spirit. Beauty has the power to create life and destroy life. We so often recognize it all around us and deny it to ourselves. We give it and receive it. We let is pass us by. Beauty is in a voice, a look, an action. It is a disease that feeds but can deprive the essence of who we are. Beauty intoxicates and lures. it warms the hearts of some and hardens that of others. Beauty is a canvas that holds a different painting in each individual mind. Beauty is a single mother, a sun rise, a supermodel, a man who abandons all to love his partner, and a woman who does the same. It is a child who recklessly embraces play time, a drawing, a widow's silver hair, and a joyful spirit. Beauty is all of theses things and more. It captivates, entices, heals, changes, accepts, and is everlasting. Anyone who denies beauty, denies themselves.
