By being present to beauty we see who we are, our natural way of being, and inclination toward change, despite the ego’s struggle for sameness and safety. Through the equanimity of beauty we are made aware of life’s pendulum, where we’ve been and where we’re going, as we see where we are. The splendor of nature and the hand created.

“invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
don't swim in the same slough.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you.
reinvigorate yourself and
accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented.
be self-taught.
and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and
its history
and the present
belong only to
you.”
― Charles Bukowski, The Pleasures of the Damned
