Simplicity's Joy

Beauty. It used to be everywhere, now it takes some looking to find. Often things that are of great worth are destroyed by those who cannot have it. It saddens me, but also sparks my desire to bring back all things beautiful. When I look at the world around me and all that it has lost, it makes me want to pull back and hide within myself, my home, and my my places of comfort, never to face the ugliness this place has become, ever again. But hiders are not discoverers, adventurers, or seekers. They are not artists, they are not dreamers, and none of them ever truly live. If I desire beauty, comfort, and peace, I cannot wait for it to come to me. I must go find it, and whatever cost; I will. Beauty comes from the soul, and and is seen in the eyes of the beholder. If I am so lost in securing myself safely into a corner, I will never be able to discover what lies ahead. There IS beauty everywhere, I just need to eyes to see it. Open yourself up to the possibility that there CAN be, and IS good in this world. It is there, just waiting to be found. Let us go out, my dreamers, and bring back the joy and happiness we've always hoped for. <3
