Effortless Beauty

Beauty is everywhere. It can be in the face of a person, inside a conversation, in a dream, outside of your bedroom window, or in the speed of your heartbeat when you see the one you love. My favorite kind of beauty is the one that is effortless. The thing is, not everyone can appreciate that kind of beauty. To do it you need all five senses. What your eyes see is not the full picture. Imagine yourself lying on the ground in your backyard. Eyes closed. You’re alone amongst the flowers and trees. It’s four o’clock in the afternoon on a summer’s day. The sun is coming down, and the grass feels cool against your body. Think about what you hear, what you touch, and what you feel. What does your mind tell you? Does it make you feel like something magical is happening? What happens when you’re alone, when your mind and body are connected with each other and with the world? Does it feel natural to you?
