Down the Rabbit Hole

Be Your Own Beautiful

"Blogging Circle of Friends "
DAY 2188 November 15, 2018
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." With that in mind, what's beautiful to you?

Beauty is a highly relative quality which gives it a wonderful kind of power. I often tell my growing daughter to "be your own beautiful", encouraging her to take all the liberties the quality of being beautiful affords her, inside and out. I find many things beautiful, chief among those things are my daughter's sea-change eyes and her ever evolving spirit. Beauty is a reflection of what is inside us as much as anything else. My daughter has a kind heart and that translates into a beauty and serenity that I see more and more as she matures.

I have learned to take more time to appreciate the things in the world that I find most beautiful. I spend more time taking in my most favorite landscapes, like the beach forest of the Outer Cape in mid-August or that first new virgin snow on a crisp winter morning. I love flying over the cranberry bogs in the Fall, with airplane casting a shadow over the ripe, red berries floating below us.
