Beauty

I see beautiful things everywhere. They are not necessarily the things that modern culture finds beautiful. I don't care.

It is beautiful when I hear two voices sing a melody and a harmony

It is beautiful when I see words flow together seamlessly on a page

It is beautiful when the peach tree blossoms

It is beautiful when the warm sand slightly sparkles on my skin

It is beautiful when the clouds cast their great shadows on the mountains

It is beautiful when I can see the details of the islands on a clear day

It is beautiful when I see some one's smile through their eyes

It is beautiful when a slight breeze rustles through the trees

It is beautiful when there is frost on the roof in the morning

It is beautiful when two musical notes fuse in a chord

It is beautiful when I cry because a story is so moving

It is beautiful when there are no buildings as far as the eye can see

It is beautiful when someone captures a moment with a camera

It is beautiful when the sky is darkened by clouds and the tumultuous sea whitecaps

It is beautiful when I jump in the pool on a hot day, then dry myself on the warm cement

It is beautiful when I clearly see the constellations at night

It is beautiful when I look out at a rainy day from next to a warm fire

It is beautiful when my friends tell me that I matter

It is beautiful when someone laughs at my joke

It is beautiful when I actually do stop to smell the roses

It is beautiful when I take the time to read and write

It is beautiful when I see a child giggle

It is beautiful when I see a dog's tail wagging

It is beautiful when I let my soul escape through art

It is beautiful when I grab a piece of fruit off of a tree as I walk by

It is beautiful when I finish a difficult task

It is beautiful when I sweat because I am working hard

It is beautiful when life isn't complicated, and I notice the simple things

It is beautiful when I don't care what someone thinks

It is beautiful when I wake up before sunrise

It is beautiful when I go to sleep at sunrise

It is beautiful when I have 10 choices of tea on a cold day

It is beautiful when the clouds cover the tips of the mountains

It is beautiful when the tips of the mountains peek through the clouds

It is beautiful when I see an old friend that I havn't seen in a long time

It is beautiful when I say goodbye, but know that we will still have a connection

It is beautiful when I cook a full dinner by myself

It is beautiful when I make myself a sandwhich for a midnight snack

It is beautiful when I keep on my uggs and pajamas the whole day

It is beautiful when I wake up no longer sick

It is beautiful when I take a nap in the sun on a warm afternoon

It is beautiful when I work as part of a team

It is beautiful when I climb rock formations

It is beautiful when I get to sleep in

It is beautiful when a ray of sun pierces through a cloud

It is beautiful when I see a massive jet flying by

It is beautiful when I see a butterfly foat in the breeze

It is beautiful when I see red roses and yellow roses and pink roses in a bunch

It is beautiful when I throw a frisbee and the wind carries it much further than I hoped

It is beautiful when I see two old people holding hands

It is beautiful when I see a cave so dark that I can't see

It is beautiful when I climb a tree

It is beautiful when I see a bird making a nest

It is beautiful when I hear a poet rhyme

It is beautiful when people applaude because they want to

It is beautiful when I see a rainbow in the sky

It is beautiful when I see a rainbow from the hose

It is beautiful when I smell a pine forest

It is beautiful when I see an amazing piece of art

It is beautiful when I see the mountains next to the sea

It is beautiful when I realize that there are so many things that I find beautiful, I can't even list them all.


Maybe life isn't so bad.


Beauty is not what people tell me is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Find the things that are beautiful to you.
