". . .to be beautiful is also to be brief and simple,
is to rise up and be glorious, and then vanish."
This is true in the big picture of our universe, isn't it?
It's what we, as humans are meant to be.
How I wish we could all be beautiful before we vanish...
or at least treat each other from that perspective.
"the usual daily foolishness that comes to so little
so far as the real things matter: eternity, the unseen,
the unrecognized, the filling of the heart with goodness..."
A recipe for where to focus our attention, perhaps?
My personal objective is to fill my heart with goodness.
We humans can write the story of our lives...lilies and lichen
and countless splendid entities on earth, cannot.
What if we could at least attempt to write their story for them?
Write the biography of a honey bee, a dandelion, American Columbo,
or any more-than-human being who draws us in...
the Milky Way, Venus, Pluto...
