Beauty, where can you find it?

A reflection on the source of Beauty

The quest to find it in the world through art for physical and emotional beauty, through philosophy for ethics and esthetics, through reason and science for intellectual validations, for their beautiful capacities to name, explain and articulate the world, and through religion for the spiritual beauty of a worldview encompassing them all, linking (as clearly as possible) the physical realities with the transcendant ones.

Beauty is similar to light in the sense that it is outside of us and we do not generate it but our ability to "see it" depends on our own inner light, it is often a question of having our own "spiritual beauty-bound antennas" ready. It is in the beloved and in the eyes of the lover, so in the end, beauty has much to do with love. Beauty, light and love? Yes, and there is one more option: PEACE! Because when we get to experience the light and love of beauty, we grasp (even if furtively) a sense of inner peace.

Well, that's my thoughts and I documented them in 15 slides and a few simple and practical suggestions.
