Wow, Magser, you hit the nail on the head! I seem to get pulled into every ipad,iphone, macbook, and TV article/comment/click bait headline like they're iron shavings and I'm a magnet. The beautiful in all its micro and macro forms is going on all around us, thriving amidst the chaos and disruption and disappointment, and we betray it by not acknowledging or remembering it, thus, for me at least, the guilt. It of course becomes our loss, we are the weaker for it, while it remains above the fray, unexhausted, inextinguishable. We need to make the search for the beautiful an automatic response when the ugly and the awful threaten to smother us, have somewhere to get to and sail calmly on....
Well-said Maggie and Patti Smith. I sometimes feel guilty for having a fairly normally life amid the chaos. Good reminder to savor the joy one can find in the day-to-day.
