Fantastic post. Your examples are wonderful...Jenna.<br />Fantastic post. Your examples are wonderful, they give such an impression of beauty that I can see and relate to, and such a depth. Impressions are so much more welcoming than definitions in discussions like these, I agree with everything here! :) Especially the candlelight. Candlelight never gets old, even if you use it everyday.mashahttp://www.cyganeria-masha.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-24433549700458386342011-08-09T10:49:03.832-07:002011-08-09T10:49:03.832-07:00Carrie-Ann, thanks!

Your comment made me smile, especially the Potter reference. :) And the cord tugs at the inside of my chest when I read those lines, too.<br /><br />I think you're absolutely right about the element of choice. The ability to see and appreciate beauty is an important life skill and absolutely needs cultivation.<br /><br /><b>George,</b> LOL! Is there some stigma attached to that practice that I'm unaware of? Dante, spouse, candlelight.... I can't imagine what would be wrong with that. :DJenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-7521634225442728442011-08-09T09:27:29.850-07:002011-08-09T09:27:29.850-07:00I'm just glad I hang around with people online...I'm just glad I hang around with people online who aren't afraid to admit they read the <i>Paradiso</i> by candlelight with their spouse. :)Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501327753737422337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-63237691748540875762011-08-08T18:45:37.016-07:002011-08-08T18:45:37.016-07:00Thank you, Jenna, for showing us what Beauty means...Thank you, <b>Jenna</b>, for showing us what Beauty means to you. The examples are revealing, though I'm not sure they mean the same to you as to me or another person. The closing Dante quotation is what grabs me the most, literally--I feel like a cord is tugging at the inside of my chest.<br /><br />Beauty moves us, turns us, sets us right, or simply re-affirms that the universe is wondrous. The marvelous ability to see Beauty is a sign of health that we are connected to things in a proper way. As long as we do not lose this ability (and I think there's a large element of choice here), then no matter what events transpire, at the end of our lives we can always say "All was well." <br /><br />Hmmm... Wonder where I've seen that phrase before... :o)Carrie-Ann Biondihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09769201617294313094noreply@blogger.com
