Find the Beauty - Share the Beauty
A few weeks ago I had to rescue a guy from the bush near my home. At the time I had a herniated disc and excrutiating sciatic pain. It was night time, and I was cutting a track through thick vegetation to allow the ambulance people to get to him. At one point as I cut through a giant stinging tree with my brush hook, my light flew from my hand and turned off, leaving me in total darkness. I was in intense pain, the man I was trying to save was close to death, and I was very, very tired. Then I noticed that the rock walls of the gully were alive with glow worms, little points of light as far as I could see. I decided to take a few seconds to drink in the beauty. I did, and it invigorated me, and made the rest of my task possible.
A man is fleeing from a hungry tiger, and is backed up to a cliff. Facing certain death, he leaps, and manages to catch hold of a bush halfway down. He looks down to see if there is a safe place to land, when he sees a second hungry tiger prowling below. Then, the roots of the bush begin to tear from the rock. It is then the man notices the berries on the bush. With his free hand he reaches out for some and puts them in his mouth. With certain death above, and certain death below, the man enjoys the most beautiful sensual experience of his life as he savours the luscious fruits.
I would be honoured if others shared moments of beauty that inspired them here.
