Beauty, What is it?


What is Beauty?

I have been asking myself that question lately as I had put that
statement at the top of this blog.

"Seeking Beauty in Everyday Life"

On Art Wolfe's Travel to the Edge on Sunday he was talking
to a woman about beauty and she said it was fleeting, like a snowflake.

I asked my husband and he said "God speaking to us."

Beauty moves me, but exactly what is it?

To me it is:
Fresh picked fruit
Flowers
Sunrise and Sunsets
Fluffy clouds
A newborn baby
A child's smile
Kitties pink nose
Dappled sunshine through the trees
Ocean waves
Steam rising from a warm cup of tea
Art
Seeing a persons soul shine through their face


Please tell:  What is Beauty?

    Hmmm ... I'm going to have to ponder this one. In fact, I think I'll make it my "writing prompt" for tomorrow's journaling!

    I see beauty every day in your posts Marilyn, and I think your list of what beauty is pretty well covers it all! And the rose picture is so beautiful.

    Beauty is a meeting with the Divine inside and outside of ourselves. :o) ((HUGS))

    Beauty is all around us - we miss a lot of it! It's in the little things, the simple things and the beauty God created all around us.
