At anytime I cannot see the inherent beauty in what I observe or what I experience, I find it important to remind myself that even though the sun may hide behind a cloudy sky, it doesn’t mean it’s no longer present; I simply am not seeing it because my view is obstructed. Have you ever had such an encounter, where you came across something that used to be perceived as without beauty, only later to find it’s beauty penetrate your heart? Whether in people, places, or experiences, I’m sure you can think of something. Take time to remember such an occasion.
Just because we cant see it, doesn’t mean it is not there; and my friend, all things aren’t just with beauty, all things are beauty. If this troubles you, take heart, there is no life requirement that says you must see it as such. However, I do encourage you to expand on this possibility. Begin to ask questions that you are comfortable asking. Don’t feel as though you immediately need to see or find the beauty in such things as murder, or poverty, etc. Saying such things can be dangerous, I know, and I hope you understand the point I’m trying to make with the responsibility that comes with it. Can you see beauty in your partner where you once found disgust? Can you see beauty in death, how about suffering? Stretch yourself while speaking to the heart, and steer clear of a logic that’s based in duality.
Did you find genuine value within this post? If you did, then most likely you know someone else who will as well. I invite you to share the goodness!
