Insert beauty here





I have developed the expectation that everything she does will be beautiful.  Sometimes, it doesn't turn out that way but much of the time, her work is striking, original and inspiring.  At a minimum, a single black wall with gold-framed photos, a well-written family history, an ensemble of the right top and the right bottom.  

I suggest we all try to insert beauty in our lives.  Beautiful conversations, beautiful foods, beautiful music, beautiful scents and textures - they all lift our spirits and they all remind us of the good we experience each minute.  Give it a try: play an oldy that resounds with your soul, read a poem that has always touched your heart, shower with a friend, walk to the nearest hotel and stay overnight there.  You will see this planet and yourself differently.

See what can happen?  You not only want a gorgeous flower, like our yellow iris with the white centers in its petals, but you also want to put a good-looking leaf in the vase to spice it up into a nice little bouquet.  After the flower wilts, you try the attractive leaf by itself.  Voila, a lovely leaf, a thing of beauty.  I think much of the fun comes from trying to make your own original beauty, using what is available as well as you can.
