Hmmmm….much to think about. There are some beautiful Ideas here. Purpose and intention, appreciation….does transform…..us. We can see where “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” comes from. When my father was at the end of his life and ravaged by his terminal illness, all I saw was his beauty as I held his hand. Years later only when I looked at the pictures of those end days, did I see the extreme emaciation that must have been obvious to others.
And, I’d say beware the word “pretty” as it almost intones some inner absence, the mature quality of beauty not yet manifest,
Thank you.
