Beauty

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.

This week when I see a thing of beauty,
I will give thanks that it exists, and that I can see it.
