What Is Beatuy

What is Beauty?

Beauty is not a look.

It is a moment in time when every part of the universe

is gathered in perfect harmony.

Beauty is not a number or an age or a weight.

Beauty is a millisecond of hope.

Hope that has never occurred before on the plane of your existence.

It is a thought.

An idea.

A place.

A place where the heart can travel to when the entire world comes against you.

It is not a color or an attitude of superiority.

It is a chasm of joy that cannot be measured without measuring your past pain.

It is the absence of the oppressiveness of the enemy.

It is the hope of excellence in the days ahead.

Beauty.
