Beauty is all around us. Look up, down and cast your gaze about. Forget about your worries and appreciate what is here and now.
Life is full of so many wondrous things and it is hard not to get bogged down. We are lucky. We live in a time where there is abundance in a civilised society. There are basic human rights.
In parts of the world where it is lacking, benevolent good people seek to redress it.
So why do we still feel a certain discontent? Why do we want more? Why can we not be happy for others and ourselves?
I believe in progression and growth, but I do despair at the ever diminishing value given to kindness and human decency. People are callous about those who are not their immediate concern. It is an us versus them.
I want to see beauty all around us. I want to hold on to the smiling and laughter. I want to find a way for beauty and happiness to bloom and grow.
