“I don’t
think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.” Anne Frank
Emily Dickinson says, “Beauty is not caused. It is.”
Ruskin Bond in his story Most
Beautiful writes, “Ugly
is just a word”, I said, “Like Beauty. They mean different things to different
people….” The narrator assumes that ‘Beauty’ is a relative term.
In
the poem Beauty XXV Khalil Gibran says: The aggrieved and the injured say,
"Beauty is kind and gentle.
Like a young mother half-shy of her own glory
she walks among us."
I came across a beautiful quote by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a Swiss American
psychiatrist and a pioneer in near-death studies: People are stained glass
windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets
in their true beauty is revealed, only, if there is a light from within.
Beauty
is hidden everywhere and in everything, methinks. Only the eye of the beholder
finds it or let me put it in H.G. Wells’ way : Beauty is in the heart of the
beholder.
This
week you are to Walk in Beauty. What’s beautiful to you; what’s not; where it’s
still found; where it’s missing and anything and everything related to Beauty.
