feel-good

Nov 07, 2002 11:12

After industriously getting up on time to go to my 9am lecture, I discovered to my delight that my 10am was cancelled. Hurrah! My reward for a good deed - I actually have the rest of the day to do justice to my essay. This is a cause for celebration ( Read more... )

you are so lucky. sometimes feel i can't see the beauty in things anymore, no matter how hard i try.
do you know anything about cameraS

Unfortunately no; this one I just got free with my new mobile phone. I'm not a photographer in any sense of the world. I just feel that words are inadequate sometimes - I just want to show you.

As for not being able to see the beauty in things - is it a matter of trying? I suppose it depends on mood, in a way. I'm rarely able to look at the sky without being touched, in one way or another. It has quite a scary influence on my moods.

i definately agree it's a matter of trying, i guess i just have to try very hard at the moment and it's sometimes easier to not bother and lose yourself in not looking properly.
and also, it's having the time to look properly. or rather allowing yourself the time.

i still have a letter i wrote to you on my bedroom floor. it's been there for ages. maybe it's time to buy some stamps!

I'm not sure I do think trying has anything to do with it, really. Surely you can't be deliberately touched by something - that's the point of wonder, that it takes you by surprise. You can open yourself to it, I suppose, and you can be determined not to see beauty in anything ... but can you be determined to see beauty in everything? Isn't that a little fake? Isn't the point that it's something outside of yourself, something you catch a glimpse of? I don't know, I'm not phrasing this very well.

ooh, letters .... I'm behind in my letter-answering but so long as you don't mind waiting a week or so for a reply, I'd love to read it ... letters are meant to be sent. They aren't really letters if they're not :)

>but can you be determined to see beauty in everything? Isn't that a little fake? Isn't the point that it's something outside of yourself, something you catch a glimpse of?it is possible to see beauty in everything. not all beauty is overt, you have to look for it sometimes. when you look at the sky is it beautiful because it's blue or is it beautiful because of why it is blue ( ... )

maybe we're both just trying to say the same thing. I know what you mean. I was just thinking, just because you look for it, it doesn't mean you'll find it. It's something you can't help. You know?

I'm in a letter writing mood also. Unfortunately, I have an essay to write. Daaaamn.
