Beauty 101 – Let nature lead the way
June 01, 2011
Let nature lead the way
We live in a world that is filled with beauty, a world that pushes forth at every chance excellence of design, perfection of form and brilliance of function.
A world that is intuitively knows how to bend and move and show itself as if in the most expert of dances, most refined of expressions, or most abandoned of dervishes, always knowing the outcome will be graceful and perfect. Not a molecule misplaced!
This is our world, and now in the quickening of springtime, before the fulsome of summer is upon us, when the beginning of life can still be traced in opening buds, in new grasses, in roadside flowers, I stand in awe, as before my eyes, all of life’s secrets unfold.
This is the moment friends to cast your lot with beauty, and let nature be your guide.
This is the world I want to represent, to mimic, to pay my obeisance to, to play in, appreciate and enjoy. These are the shapes- of uncurling leaves and opening buds, of earthy furrows and extravagant blooms, that inspire me for my art and for my life.
A pretty cushion on a chair, is more than that.
It is my effort to meet nature in her sublimity.
To welcome her into my home.
Embrace the earth’s beauty, reflect it in what you own and in who you are and how you think.
We live in Paradise, we must respect it and protect it.
Feel beautiful, Live Beautiful, Be Beautiful.
