In The Eye of the Beholder

Image

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder

which begs the question of this philosophical

observation: why is it that so many fail to

recognize beauty in the most fundamental of 

all possible arenas, where the lens of so many

eyes remain oblivious to the gifts that generous

nature offers us in abundance? No day is quite

the same as the day preceding it nor those that

follow. The quick and questing mind looks

about in a wonder of ephemeral choices given

humanity through courtesy of the seasons as they

appear in the wilderness of a forest untouched

by humanity's penchant for urbanizing the appeal

of a landscape in its natural verdant splendour. 

Seek, said the sage, and ye shall find. Yet few

seem to care and will never approach raw nature

nor feel its nurturing grace. For those that do its

rewards are manifold and life-affirming -- for the

arcane wonder of our obligation to the natural

force of existence both exalts and comforts us.
