We talkin about inner here?

Surely without sight there will still be beauty; besides, especially in your case, I find it best to keep my eyes closed, so as not to spoil the view. :P

[C13: from Old French biauté, from biau beautiful; see beau]

Kilig

Noun. The sudden feeling of an inexplicable joy.

Kilig may also be defined as that mountain top, floating, on cloud nine, invincible, i-could-keep-smiling, heart aching goodness and feeling which overpowers the mind’s ability to think straight, act straight, breathe properly and articulate thoughts into a single comprehensible sentence.

Over come by beauty?

What about things that are so f’ing ugly (fugly) that they are actually rather beautiful or amazing. What’s the word for that?

Words are so often inadequate. A picture is worth a thousand words. What is worth a thousand pictures?

The best part of waking is two cups of coffee down the hatch.

Still images (photos, drawings, paintings, sculptures) may only show the architecture and costuming of the stage, and very little of the actual living performance. The energy, quality and depth of a person’s physical, emotional, social, and intellectual intelligence can create interest, attraction, and admiration (beauty) that depends relatively little on what that person looks like in a picture.

Being beautiful is a burden for me.

Today’s puzzler. Find the two differences in each picture. There will be 8 of them for all 4 pictures. A hard one today.

no matter how many pictures you have

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder….

What’s more appealing is the inner beauty that radiates to others.

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes right down to the bone.

If they didn’t want them confused, then they should not have used a “seven” to name both of them.

…plus clothes that change colors…. gotta have that…..

Royal Flush

She comes in colours everywhere

She combs her hair

She’s like a rainbow

Coming, colours in the air

Oh, everywhere

She comes in colours

I wonder if this sentiment found its way into Kant’s thinking about the perception of beauty. He ascribed it to a “moral feeling.” Haply, Hegel harrumphed.

…I statched a bee out of the air…

…and held it encased in the palm of my hand…

…I felt all powerful…

…all-knowing…

…because everyone knows that beauty is in the eyes of the bee holder…

A popo posing, poising, positioning, and posturing …

for the Po-Po posters …?

“Euclid alone has looked on beauty bare.” It may have been Gauss.

Mostly subjective, and a matter of taste. I think spiders are beautiful, while most people recoil at them. You can’t teach a computer the meaning of “beauty” because there’s no single set of rules describing it — everyone and every culture has their own standards. No picture can express it because the beauty is inside of you, the viewer, and how you interpret that picture.

Flashing lights of different colors. A silent, motionless beauty.

Is this some kind of insidious Brain-Washing device?

My brain is clean! I am open to your wisdom, O Lady of Frog Applause!
