Beauty All Around

February 05th, 2021 by G.

Beauty is always experienced as rare, even when it is common.  When you cease to experience it as rare, you cease to experience it as beauty.

Mortality is what allows eternal beings who have passed through it to eternally experience each moment of beauty forever as unique and rare.  Entropy, the decay and passing of all things mortal, is a device to defeat entropy–there is not anything and not even the least bit of savor of anything that is ever lost, not even a little.  It grows and grows.  You experience the moment of beauty forever and also continue on experiencing the experience and experiencing the sharing of the experience and contemplating it from new angles in light of your other experience and the manifold experiences that worlds and people without end bring to you, and the experience grows and grows and grows.

There is beauty all around.  It is no poetry to say that in your commonplace actions you are a knight errant or a princess.  You do not need to change your scene to live in the grand manner.  Who you are is already enough.
