There is such beauty in the world. Some people are gifted with extraordinary physical beauty, especially when they are young. Others get progressively more beautiful as they progress through their lives, their roles as parents, their relationships, their marriage(s).
Today I had the wonderful opportunity to interact with several beautiful people -- a youngish female scholar, an enduring administrative assistant, a new teacher drawn to the life of teaching our specific students at our Technical College. All of these people were women -- but they were beautiful not just because they were attractive -- but because they displayed depth, and kindness, and compassion -- well beyond their own particular physical beauty. Such complete beauty is the kind that makes my heart beat faster.
It is one of the reasons that I think living, teaching, being a friend, conversing, etc. are all "art forms" fully supplying an aesthetic level of existence to my thinking and my doing and my being.
