To Perceive Beauty

Beauty can be consoling, disturbing, sacred, profane; it can be exhilarating, appealing, inspiring, chilling. It can affect us in an unlimited variety of ways. Yet it is never viewed with indifference: beauty demands to be noticed; it speaks to us directly like the voice of an intimate friend. If there are people who are indifferent to beauty, then it is surely because they do not perceive it.

  1. There's so much beauty around, but I think it remains unnoticed for some who don't want to see it or don't know how to appreciate it. But it's there and you show it to us every single day. For this, Thank you.

  4. To know the trials and tribulations that Anne Frank went through....how wonderful that she should still see beauty in her world. SHE knew ugliness and hatred that prayerfully we today.....will never experience. YET she is our teacher.
