A lot of things are of great beauty. Things which if you look at them for long enough make you smile inside without really knowing why. Flowers, huge tree roots as they twist over and under the ground, the eyes of curious animals to name a few. I could go on, once you start thinking about it there are so many. The view of a small boat on an ocean as you fly overhead, standing and staring upwards at a meteor shower, coming into a room with an open fire after being out in the rain, collapsing into bed after a hectic day, hearing an old friends voice, being told for the first time that someone loves you.

People see beauty differently. It would be a great shame if we didn’t. Our perceptions vary. Admittedly, a lot of what we see as beautiful is only that which we’ve been led to believe is beautiful. But when it goes beyond that, the emotions true beauty stirs up are astronomical. And true beauty is subjective. That’s the nice thing about it.
