“Life is truly lived when the subtleties of beauty are sensed and seen, held beneath the skin: fully consumed.”
The romantic mind has a way of seeing, well beyond nuance into a deeper realm of beauty. A layer the jaded eye can no longer see, till shown under light of joy and the lens of love. Life is truly lived when the subtleties of beauty are sensed and seen, held beneath the skin: fully consumed. It is my belief that beauty stays with us, resonates within the hallows of our minds and bodies, sticks to our bones, nourishes the marrow. Beauty is a contradiction, it plays with our heart rate, an erratic inspiration, through eye and through hand: emotion and the physical form.
“It is the space between idealism and the pragmatic that beauty resides, vacillating the to and fro: who we are and need to become.”
Seeing beauty in this time before us, eases our forward pace as the milestones of change slowly come to pass. It is not that beauty is the resolve, but the salve upon our minds, a resting place for the eye, pillow for the hopeful soul. To navigate the path forward is to know who we are, what we need and what nourishes, beyond sustenance of food and drink. It is the space between idealism and the pragmatic that beauty resides, vacillating the to and fro: who we are and need to become. The future is here, awaiting our seeing, our actions of doing , amongst the beauty and the ruin.
To resolve forward will take a cavalcade of the like minded, the angry, romantic, visionary and builder: the circumvention of government, charlatans and false hoods. To resolve forward will demand our dexterity, our knowing from the gut, creative mind and strength of hand. It will take all this and more, all of us, in: acceptance of our failures, beauty in the eye of the seer.
