Beautiful things

I find in life it is really difficult to come in contact with beautiful things and to have them in your life... The reason for this is most beautiful things leave our lives too quickly. Most beautiful things leave us way too quickly and way too soon. Rainbows have been known to last just a few moments. Fresh snow that has not been disturbed in a city street only last minutes, before some one walks through it, or plows.. etc... Butterflies have a short life span... and one might question why such ugly creatures live on like cockroaches which are one of the oldest animals.. most do not see a cockroach and think beautiful.. and when a natural disaster happens it leads to months/years of clean up. Even wars are long lasting with rarely a quick resolve.
We also rarely stop to take in the pure beauty around us until it is gone. So why is there beauty if it just seeps away and often never returns. I find that it keeps us going, in hopes to find that beautiful moment again. After a bad day at work, a babies giggle makes you realize it was all worth it. When a beautiful soul leaves us it gives us hope that we will find that kind of soul again, maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow... but someday. It's kind of like love... if one has ever loved and lost... one might hold on to that they will love deeply again. There is soo much i can say about beauty, most days I can stop and appreciate it around me... and when i can't find any.. I think back to beauty I have found and look forward to when I will find it again...........
