Beauty ...

Beauty is a reflection of the evolution of ones soul ... The things that we find beautiful tell us a lot about ourselves .. they tell us about our needs, aspirations, desires ...

I look for simplicity in life and to find an equilibrium with God, a God who adores my tinyness and can fit his magnificence in my little soul.

The most beautiful moment of my life was when I saw sailboats in the sea from a beach in Mangalore(India) about 10 years ago.
The sailboats, white and serene, seem to have an existance of their own, and are in perfect harmony with everything around them; the wind, the waves and all eternity.

The waves, the wind or the golden setting sun do not need the little sailboat for their existance .. nothing would change for them if the sailboat never was there; but somehow the sailboat is the center of their world, it brings out the beauty of the sky, of the sea and of the entire universe.
Like a little baby, who with his tiny toes and fingres, meaningless sounds and gurgles, gives a deep, surreal spiritual joy to the mother, an aspect of herself she was never aware of ...
Will a truly realized soul find beauty in all things in existance ? Can he see the beauty of God and Creation in a pig rolling in filth ? Does it inspire him with the same joy as a peacock dancing in the twilight ?
