"why is it possible to see beauty in all things"








Is there a god?

Ive seen photographers step through shit, and filth to take pictures of the most dull, and uninspiring scenes.

And I've seen giant photographs hanging in frames over bedheads of bedroom walls depicting the most dull and uninspiring scenes, but at the same time captures something inexplicable, something that the eye isn't seeing but what my soul feels, captivated in wonder, i stare.

this is not to say that beauty is easier experienced through the eyes of others, or photographs, I'm simply saying, its there, its everywhere, it just depends on how our awareness perceives it.

When i speak of beauty, i speak of the connection the word implies. the emotions that are generated. we deliver stories of Beauty when we are infected by warmth, serenity, and contentedness, we deliver stories of beauty when our hearts are touched by the hands of ...? can this really be true?

if beauty exist in all, and beauty is an energy we feel, then you could say the energy of all, is one. And oneness, is all. And maybe say even "God is"

The largest stones

The teacher placed a large glass jar on the table.

Then out of a bag he took ten stones, each the size of an orange, and began placing them, one by one, in the jar.

When the jar was filled to the brim with stones, he asked his students:

‘Is it full?’

They all agreed that it was. The teacher, however, took some gravel from another bag and by jiggling the large stones around inside the jar, managed to fit in quite a lot of gravel.

‘Is it full now?’

The students said, yes, this time it was definitely full. At that point, the teacher opened a third bag, this time full of fine sand, and he began to pour it into the jar. The sand filled up any empty spaces between the large stones and the gravel, right up to the top.

‘Right,’ said the teacher. ‘Now the jar is full. What do you think I’ve been trying to demonstrate to you?’

‘That it doesn’t matter how busy you are, there’s always room to fit in something else,’ said one student.

‘Not at all. What this little demonstration shows us is that we have to put the large stones in first because, afterwards, they won’t fit.

Now what are the important things in our lives? What are the plans we postpone, the adventures we never have, the loves we fail to fight for? Ask which are the large, solid stones that keep God’s flame alive in you and put them into your jar of decisions now, because very soon there will be no room for them.’
