Beauty is everywhere

          There is a woman on my Facebook page, called Alicia Ruth Gonzales Moya who constantly posts the most incredible photographs. Sometimes,a child, or a pet, sometimes a landscape, but more often it's a glimpse of something in cameo. Part of a flower, a window, with faded paint, a bush full of bright birds. They are not always her photos, she finds them, and posts any that touch her I suppose. I only know they touch me too. They fill me with joy, they make me happy to be here on such a Beautiful Earth. Resplendent in rich colour, and form, washed in glowing light. So wondrous they open my heart to the joy in the world. I thank that woman, profusely. She makes my day, without even knowing it.

            Of course, I take photographs myself, and consider myself an artist. So, I appreciate the Artistic expression, the composition. I can appreciate the finer technical points. Except it's not just that, it's the unexpected jolt of pleasure when they appear on the page, totally unlooked for. It's just like finding a present, just the present I have always wanted. I have a dear friend too, also artistic, who takes some wonderful photographs. Photos of strange lands, and interesting people. Only, both of us, mostly kept them to ourselves. We don't seek out the beautiful, and the  Vibrant to post online, we do not share as we should,  life is busy, life is hectic. You see, how many of us make the same excuses?

          There on many people who use the net for spreading sorrow. For venting their rage, and their frustration. There are many more who are truly evil with what they instigate, share, and immerse  themselves in. How sad, and narrow their lives. How black their hearts, and blank their souls. Lesser bad people I see who enjoy to make threats, or upset those who care for them. All cannot not be lost for them. Spread beauty, and joy on the net. Make it so it infiltrates to every corner. Touches every heart, dissipates the darkness surrounding them. Truly....joy to the world.

          I'm going to try to share beauty more, to uplift someone's day. As Alicia brightens my own. If we all did the same, if we all posted something everyday, to cheer others, how wonderful would be our day. How light our mood, how much less our worries..if only for that second.

           So, my friends, search out the beauty, whether it's words, deeds, or pictures, and share with all.

Bring light, and joy to someone you may never meet, or to your dearest friend. It matters not, pile up the beautiful, the pure, the innocent, the wonderful colours, and shapes that make our world. Overpower the rest, and drag the emanations of this world to a higher level.

            To a place where we are all content to be...

                     I wish you all, joy, love, and peace.
