For the last several weeks,
I have been acutely aware of the BEAUTY
of this planet; everywhere I look,
I see raw beauty intensely manifesting itself:
my maple trees, the gentle, delicious wind, the Earth,
a confluence of all conspiring to create an ambience
almost glowing with beauty, evoking an ineffable bliss.
When I reflect upon my dear friends,
my fine dining SIG,
the splendor of the dens of successful
culinary hedonism that we habituate,
our travel around America to delightful,
informative conventions, with more fine dining,
the beauty of my real estate,
of my gun collection, and of my old gold coins,
I am moven to exult in a rapture of exceptional joy and well being.
A few days ago, one of my tenants told me that
he 'd been in an automotive collision; I 'd seen
the deformation of his car. He told me that he
had been moven to reflect upon his own mortality,
and what he considered a near brush with death,
resulting in his better appreciation of each day since.
I can only agree.
As free Americans, we have a lot to be glad about;
so much happiness, free for the taking

I agree, David. There is so much beauty that we are surrounded with every day.
How did you know that I was just looking at a golden sunset, and drinking in the beauty of it? :wink:
It can be fun to create joy
in others with whom u empathize
