Find the Beauty


One of the most important jobs you have
Is to find beauty in the world
In some cases, it’s very easy
Mozart, the moon, Paris in the rain
And so on
Great
Enjoy that
Let it inspire you
But what I really want to talk about
Is finding beauty
In the people around you
It’s there
Maybe not at first glance
You may have to dig
Good thing that digging for beauty in others
Is one of the most worthwhile
Ways to spend your time
We speak of respect
Re-spect is really re-look
Don’t see their beauty?
Try again
See it yet? No?
Okay, once more
How about now?
Keep looking until you see it
Keep looking until you see it
After all beauty is in your eye
You are the beholder
What about the beholden?
Well, maybe aim to be
Authentic and vulnerable
Whenever you are able
In other words, show your beauty
Such as it is
Find the beauty is a primary human game
Bonus points
For telling others how you find them beautiful
Double bonus points
For believing it when others say it to you
Triple bonus points
For seeing your own beauty all by yourself
With or without external confirmation
The jackpot
Is the daily experience
Of living in a more beautiful world
Who wants to play?
