Out there in the crowd,
surrounded by the comfort of the noise,
we can pretend not to hear the screams of the dead.
(part of one of my poems in my journal)

So many people spend their lives afraid of everything. So many people let the organized religions give them more things to fear. So many people spend so m uch of their time worried about what will happen when they die, that they never get around to living life.

All of our fears, the attachments we form, the expectations we create in our worlds, these are created in our mind by us. Whatever you respect, whatever is driving you, whatever you worship, I would hope that you would think that it wants the best for you. Is the best for you spending so much time on fear?

I forgive myself everyday for being human, then I go and live life, and thank my own version of god for all of the beauty in the world... including you.

Perhaps some day you may see your own beauty.

What beauty do you have to share with us today?

I think this is a beautiful paragraph by itself...Well written David..

David thank you so much for sharing this one! It gives even more hope!

Thank you for sharing. What is beautiful today may stay with us always. The breath you take before you speak can define the whole sentence. take your time and enjoy what you have to share.

Beauty is what we perceive by senses and perception from information,thus there is no such thing.
To forgive yourself for being human?Why not strive for evolving from such an erroneous being,would it be not better than having to forgive yourself?
Why not bathe in chaos and rise as a more complex creature,if you ever will.Why look for comforts and security?

Is that Hadrian talking about transcending the human animal shell? How beautifully comic:P

Chaos is another form of predictibility, if it is never the same then it is predictible.

To discover self you need to accept yourself, good and bad, in whole. Accepting that the body is human is an important step. Accepting our limitations lets us then find our strengths. Interestingly sometimes is is the limitation that is a strength.

I am stubborn which means I also have the ability to succeed with long term plans because I am persistent.

Forgiving yourself for not living in anothers worlds, for not meeting others standards is the most common forgiveness I engage in. We want to be social and accepted, yet it is okay to stand out and be different.

For me beauty is not uniformity or compliance, beauty is in everything if we are willing to look and accept it as it is. Yet just because a snake may be beautiful does not mean we whould become its lunch.

Comfort for me is something worth pursuing, and giving to others. Helping make others comfortable with the world, with themselves, with you, this is a worthwhile thing. What is the opposite? Fear? Should we instead just hide beneath the covers crying for an end to torment?

I hold my suffering closer than that, I make it mine, I have it stand up and dance and show that it was not worth suffering about in the first place....

Do a little dance....make a little love....get down tonight:P

What is beauty?



There is so much beauty in life
Beauty is a gift we have been given
Beauty is in the heart which touches,
another
Simplicity is beauty.

Beauty of sun setting in to ocean,
in evening
Truth is beauty, beauty is truth
Beauty is the best treasure for,
one's eye
the beauty of a love that is real.

Bright colours of the rainbow,
the beauty of spring
What is beauty?
Beauty is you.
