What is beautiful?

[tshering]

I don’t have any definition of beauty except for the way I feel when I look up at the sky, or the silhouette of a delicate little bird perched in the distance shaking its feathers, or the way the raindrops fall in a curtain like a million little shards of glass; the barren piece of land, with the roots creeping around as if trying to grab other roots in their desolation, navigating around the pieces of dry dog ****, and the colonies of happy mushrooms with their featureless forms, standing like proud traffic cones. There’s something about disorder that isn’t planned and is therefore more alive.

I'd say that your definition is pretty accurate. Something can be called beautiful when it gives you a good feeling inside. I mean, something that is not visually beautiful in itself, like a poem or text, is still beautiful if it gives you the feeling that it is special and very good, because it gives you that nice feeling inside.

I like the way you described these occurences. I guess I can say that it was beautiful!

[Calidore]

Old proverb: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Something is beautiful if you think it is.
