Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Macbeth Quote (Act V, Scene V).
As the sun sets on another seemingly endless day, I find myself verging on the edge of a despair I can’t quite wrangle into submission. Every day, I tell myself, every day is a gift to be enjoyed, to be cherished… And yet reconciling wisdom with practice is a virtue I have yet to fully embrace. Evermore, however, I try. This effort; finding beauty in the forlorn, finding joy in the perfunctory, is one of many paths I walk to keep the proverbial demons at bay.
As of late I find myself moved by the beauty that others see in their world. And what a wonderful time we live in for such a desire; for your world and mine are preciously intertwined in the wonderful world of cyberspace. In a flick of the wrist and a few slights of hand; I am in Venice, Prague, Italy, the corner market… Through your eyes I experience the world in a million shades of glory. And suddenly, my world is brightened by your vision and that which hid from me previously shows it’s face, lips moving, eyes gleaming, spirits on fire.
I believe that when I can view the world around me and drink of it’s beauty, not despite, but in the face of it’s pain, I will forever be changed. And this is one of the streets I walk, looking up, down, behind me…for anything I may have missed.
I want to drink of your vision, to share my own; to inundate the world with so much beauty it has no other choice but to pause…and take it all in.
