Why Is It

I sometimes wonder why the world is the way it is. We look up at the stars at night and there is a definite feeling - have you noticed it - of peacefulness.

Oh sometimes we see what we call a shooting star and it has beauty. Generally speaking I find the night sky has beauty - don't you?

And yet we experience our world here where there is definitely beauty often all around us whether we see it or not - someone does - and yet there is so much struggle and strife. There is certainly a tendency to assume that we're doing something wrong as a society to say nothing of as individuals and yet my feeling is that we are surrounded by beauty - for the sky is on all sides of the Earth isn't it and there is much beauty here on Earth.

Perhaps if we pull back from our view of life here it's not so much that things are getting worse on Earth as we are simply becoming more aware of what's going on on Earth because of our communication system and those who would inform us but perhaps it's possible that since we are surrounded by beauty in the sky and so much on the Earth we cannot even see it in a single day but hope that others do - in the smiles of babies, in the beauty of our pets and the beauty of plants and animals in general - often that we don't see but our friends send this beauty to us in pictures of animals.

You get them I know, I get them too. So there is so much beauty around us perhaps it's the other way. Perhaps the beauty is slowly seeping into Earth. It's an interesting idea that, isn't it. Maybe Earth is like a reverse tea bag. The more Earth is in this space the more we absorb beauty. I wonder. I suppose it's possible.

Goodlife.
