What Beauty Knows
Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.
It’s a natural occurrence, like the sun or the moon.
Things of beauty are just there.
I might be sitting in my living room, reading the paper,
and there’s a beautiful woman on TV. I look over,
but I don’t stare at her for very long.
It’s too obvious to stare at her for more than a moment.
She wouldn’t ask for it. It would be rude to stare longer than
that.
My wife and son might be in the kitchen making dinner,
and there’s music playing in the background. I can hear them
laughing, and it sounds so good.
It’s a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy life,
but sometimes you don’t want to be reminded of all the beauty
in the world.
