REALIZING BEAUTY l eauty! Where do you have to look to find beauty? eauty is everywhere: it is all around you. ln the earth, in the sea, in the sky. verywhere! veryone must learn to realize that seeing ls not observing. n ocean has beauty - with its salty blue waves nd foaming white caps. mother's love is beautiful. nseen beauty exists in the gay laugh Cf the breeze, as it whistles through the treesg ln symphonies played under the stars. C-9 hese are beauty. ln order to see beauty, look and see, listen and I hear, And most important of all, observe. ou will then see the world in a different light, ou will then perceive beauty everywhere. ou will then find that you possess beauty. - Bruce Friedman, A9 BEAUTY Miles and miles of dark steaming jungle - Green vines, green leaves, green climbers - Endless. You struggle along an almost hidden trail, Dizzy from the persistent tropical heat, Then, The splash of a scarlet orchid, You are almost blinded by its beauty. With delicate crepe-like petals, The orchid is surpassed by none. Men travelling to foreign lands, Sharing many strange adventures, Will always remember The dazzling scarlet star ln an endless green sky. -Bradley Webber, A9 Beauty is the smile of God, music his voice. -Johnson , W f , .Y .ne-1-r-'f2Q. .. , fi 575 ' Lum: is W?

Beauty is its own excuse for being -Emerson BEAUTY IS EVERYTHING, everywhere: There is beauty in the amber light of the day, When the ascending sun, high in the heavens, Renders its life giving warmth and light To the welcoming earth. There is beauty in the setting sun, Retiring with its beautiful array of brilliant colors. Giving way to the violet depths of the night. There is beauty in the barrenness of winter, When swirling snows are brushed onto the earth By the Great Artist. Spring brings beauty, The winter snow has melted into streams And the wild flowers bloom once again. Beauty is found in little things, lt shimmers from every blade of grass. lt is reflected in the pearl dew-drop Caught in the heart of a rose. Beauty is all around us - everywhere. - Dick Saydah, A9 She was beautiful ln her black velvet gown, With her blond hair swirling down her back. But the wrinkled old ladyp Survivor of eighty years of wise living, ln her faded shawl, worn with age Was infinitely more beautiful, SHE KNEW LIFE. -Alfred Johnsen, A8 MY SUN FLOWERS. Their brown faces lifted to the sun, Are colored mammies With yellow ribbons braided in their hair. My pansies, ' With their button-like faces, Are small rows of pekinese pups. My snap-dragons, Are rows of totem-poles made from The fiery heads of dragons. My flowers are actors 3 Playing in the sun, T . And l am their fond audience.
