What is beauty?

This is a current question posed on a message board I frequent quite often, so I thought I would share my take on the matter.

beauty is a desire within us all
whether we realize we possess it or not
it is in our existance, our breath, and our
everyday goings

some place face value on beauty
while others lace it with all the mysteries of the world
both place it in a package, but for it to be never opened

to me
beauty is in the knowing that we are all loved
in some way
somehow
by something greater than ourselves
and letting that wash over us


So, what do you think beauty is?
Let me know!;-)

Ummmm... agree with your idea of beauty. It's a realization of being loved--everything looks beautiful, you feel beautiful yourself.
For me, it's also being numbed into silence amidst the vastness of nature. Under the canopy of the night stars, before a vast expanse of the ocean or in the stillness of the night---where not a soul stirs, you feel one with everything. You feel dissolved. Nothing matches the beauty and majesty you feel at that moment.
