Perhaps it was a sub-conscious desire to reflect on beauty, in the intense manner I had to while preparing for the conference. Perhaps it is the lack of beauty I see around me, and trying to figure out what to give thanks about.
Ultimately, all we have is our strife and struggle, our effort. It is not enough to talk and discuss, as is the norm these days, or to relinquish the reigns to other powers. We have to look for that beauty, grab it, and make it stay. It is a fight we're in.
But, at the same time, by looking at beauty, and reflecting on beauty, we (I) begin to realize that there is indeed much to be thankful for, even an old, dog-eared, photograph with its colors faded but its image still there.
