Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so the saying goes. I suspect beauty can be found in our hearing, touch and taste as well.

It can be hard to find the beauty when you are stuck indoors, but have you ever watched tv and laughed, listened to music and danced, tasted food that made you hum. Isn’t there beauty in these things?

During these times we don’t get to go out much at least not to art galleries, museums, concert halls, zoos, or anyplace else that may grant beauty to our senses. However these venues are ironically more accessible to us like never before. Free online concerts, painting classes, private zoo tours, and so many more.

I see more people out walking, because they can’t go to the gym. Writers getting together online to write, crafters crafting together. And I myself took up Rosemaling to try and relearn a skill I hadn’t since I was a small child, but something prompted me to try during this time.

A few weeks ago I was in a class and learned that through some of our greatest illnesses came literature, art and music the likes of which the world had never seen. Here is a link to an article by Alan Cross with more details.

What will your passion and hope create?

Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be a thing of Beauty.
