Think
of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. Anne Frank
We are surrounded by beauty. Indeed,
it appears to be a fundamental part of our universe.
There are links below to two astounding images from
the Hubble Space Telescope. Surely this is a gift, and
whether the gift is that it exists, or that
we are able to perceive it, who is to say.
Scientists recently announced that
when they average all the visible light that can be
observed from the universe, the "average"
is beige. Dogs see yellows, violets, and shades of gray.
Why should it be that we have flowers, or layers of
breathtaking color at sunset?
Yes, there are logical and precise
explanations for all these things if you must water
it down... but just for a moment, consider beauty a
gift, and be thankful.
