What Is Beauty?
After this experience of sixteen weeks beauty does take a better form than from the beginning of class. I begun the class saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it's personal, and reflects on how I look at things. We named several ideas what we thought beauty was like, in creation, attitude, everything meaningful, shapes, pleasant to the eyes, looks, it can be generous and kind and etc. But after visiting the museums, art galleries, poems, short stories, and architecture beauty is different. It comes from creations, emotions, imagination, vision, and born out of passion and love.
I have a great imagination and creativity. Writing has all ways been a window to let my feelings escape the valves of my heart onto a piece of paper. It relieves the souls when I express my thoughts and emotions. Beauty has to be appreciated and treasured. Some of the items at the museum did not have much value to me but to someone else its worth was beyond what money could buy. When I am doing my passion it's beautiful to me but to friends and family it's borne or lame.
Beauty to me is when you know somebody life was messed up, and with the power of God changed their life around. That's beauty. Change is beautiful when it's for the good. Creation is beauty. Life is beautiful when you know your purpose and you understand the gifts that God has given to His people. Beauty is not a function but something to be adored or admired. It's precious as a jewel, sometimes in the ruff, but polished and dusted off it's become beautiful.
