Beauty
The dictionary defines beauty as– “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which spiritual qualities are manifest).”
Intense pleasure or deep satisfaction.
Can we experience beauty if we are not open to it?
What might keep us from being open to intense pleasure or deep satisfaction?
For me it was trauma and grief due to environmental destruction….a “broken heart”….but it could be anything.
What keeps you from experiencing intense pleasure or deep satisfaction? What keeps you from being fully open to Beauty?
It is worth exploring these questions. All of us could benefit from a daily practice of seeking Beauty and identifying our level Beauty Tolerance.
What fills your life with Beauty this day?

Lovely post, Simone.. and that orchid looks as if it is laughing 🙂
When I photograph orchids I see faces….they are amazing!
I love them… they always seem to laugh or smile. I can’t understand why they have such a sinister reputation in some quarters.
