Beauty exists in the nooks and crannies of the everyday, on the margins of life, in the places we’re usually too busy to notice.
Precisely what is or is not beautiful is open to interpretation. Or opinion. Or vigorous debate.
There is no singular definition.
That’s the point. It’s up to us. An individual decision. Whatever catches our eye. Whatever grabs our attention. Whatever makes us smile. Whatever makes us think. Whatever moves us. That’s the definition of beauty.
What we do with it when we find it is also fully our call. Stare at it. Paint it. Take a picture of it. Share it. Talk to it. Or them.
The only wrong answer is to ignore it.
So today’s beauty, according to me, is a tiny stretch of wild grass I found blowing in the late afternoon wind at the abandoned edge of a medical clinic parking lot.
I can’t explain the why. Then again, the why doesn’t matter. We need explain all this only to ourselves, and no one else.
Your turn. Go and find it. And enjoy the experience.
