Dusty Nelson, What is Beauty?

1) Description

Something that awakens your being to a state of naturalness.  It lays bare the most basic and fundamental of human emotion.

2) Example

A morning on my Kayak a few weeks ago.

3) After thoughts

It was interesting to me that most people seemed to be trying to describe a feeling or emotion that is present when something beautiful is encountered. And even though different things bring this out in us, this emotion was very similar.  Spiritual and soulful are some of the words that come to mind when I think of what people were describing.  And even though what people were describing seemed to have an undertone of unity or community or connectedness, the experiences seemed unique to the individual.  For beauty to present itself it seems that there must be a deep and meaningful connection.  Which leads me to believe that beauty is created through ritual or some other way that allows for a special connection to arise.
