the other day someone sweet and talented commented on my blog that she liked that i see beauty everywhere. as flattered and proud as it made me feel, someone perceiving me like that, i know it is not entirely true. there are plenty of moments, even days, where i find it hard to notice beauty, even if it came up to me wearing a flapper dress and offered me a glass of champagne.
when i visit shokoofee’s blog it never fails to make me see the beauty, though. even the sad kind. and no, i am not saying that shokoofee is sad, but rather that on top of all the warm-hearted and artistic capturing of life she shares with us, her readers, she also chooses to share the sadness and the longing that is also. and she somehow makes it inspiring and so full of life.
i think i began blogging because i was afraid to disappear when i moved from the city to the countryside. i am not sure what i expected, but i sure didn’t know that i would get so much in return, so much beauty and so many connections to awesome people making the world, my world at least, a better place.
come to think of it, i am pretty sure the world would be a better place for all of us if everyone did a bit of blogging (maybe a bit crowded, but the more the merrier. no?). if everyone made friends where they were made to believe there are no friends, saw how much they sometimes have in common with others living far away, be the distance cultural or geographical.
and the bonus, for me, is that the simple act of documenting the life that unfolds around me is teaching me to look for beauty, even when i don’t expect it. i still miss that flapper girl some days, but i didn’t miss the awesome purple and rose-colored clouds that one afternoon last week. and after i had admired it long enough, i ran, of course, for the camera. so i could share it with you, people of the blog world. it is, after all, your sky too, where ever you are.
wishing you a beautiful day - xoxo trinsch
