Beauty

"He who seeks beauty will find it." Bill Cunningham

The above quote is from a documentary about Bill Cunningham who is a fashion photographer for the New York Times.  Unlike other photographers, he avoids celebrities and features people he sees whom he thinks are beautiful and have their own sense of style.  He seeks beauty.  We may seek something else, but the important thing is to be aware of what we are seeking.  If we look for positive things, like beauty, joy, harmony, peace -- we are more likely to encounter it.  As humans we can get into a rut on looking for the negative, and that will have a negative impact on our health and well being.  Today we are in our fourth day of a significant spring snow storm, and the trees are laden with snow.  It is beautiful and so silent!  Yesterday I shoveled a path to our bird feeders to refill them, and today the birds are flocking around to eat.  Some even come up to my window, as if to thank us for the food.  There is beauty everywhere.  What is beautiful in your life?
