I know the park and yes the beauty lies in the whole picture. I also agree totally that it is the light with the dark that makes life wonderful!

Thanks for sharing – was like visiting.

It’s nice to see a landscape say “I am beautiful, and once I was this ugly thing also.” It’s transcendent, really.

I like the beauty of the light around those towers too.

I remember standing in front of a window the first time I went to MOMA in New York, looking out at the complex shadows the wind and the bare trees were making from the dwindling light of an early winter evening. It was as compelling to me as anything inside the galleries, and at the same time, what was outside enhanced what was inside.

It was a similar tension to what you are writing about here, and an example of how a more expansive, less judgmental conception of beauty can make our experience of the world a little richer.

Thank you for the reminder!

@ Briana Love to you, girl!

@ Victora: OMG yes! A new definition of thought sanitizing, that’s exactly what we need…

I’m working on this idea right now. I’m learning that I’ve got to stop waiting for the good stuff. Because it never arrives. But it always leaves. I think back on times and how great they are, but I fixate on the negative in the present. But if I can appreciate all of at once, well, that might just be the secret to life.

Wow…I think you just expanded my definition of “thought sanitizing.”

Or at least, I’m seeing how thought sanitizing can happen in so many more ways than how I’ve *been* thinking of it.

I’m always learn something new from you!

How is it possible that you wrote this in the same afternoon that I needed to read it? I adore everything about your expansive perspective. Thank you.
