what i see when i look down


in my book, Personal Proverbs & Hasty Haiku, i wrote: "The act of creating Art is often difficult. One must do something again & again before it becomes Art."

if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if practice makes perfect, then how do we know if and when what we are creating is beautiful and/or perfect? it seems to me that there are so many beautiful things in this world (i'm not going to address all the ugly and mean things just now) but not too much in the way of perfection - so, imperfection must be the order of the day, indeed sometimes it is all we can aspire to, insomuch as it is in the striving that we suffer and learn and create something worthwhile...

here's what i'm talking about

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and isn't wonderful to take the time to see the beauty? Thanks for sharing, TJ!
