BEAUTY BEING IN THE EYE



I was just outside letting the greyhound take her last pee of the night, and waking up the horses to give them all a carrot (they always seem to be slightly irritated at being awoken, and then suddenly extremely interested in a sweet treat, and then highly competitive in vying for the largest one).


And stopped, as I do almost every night, to admire the beautiful night sky.

(Another advantage of living at 5,000 feet far outside of most city lights).


But tonight I wondered.



It is beautiful because it is what I see?

Would it be less wonderful if I were capable of seeing more?




And if I could only see less, would that level then be the most delightful?






Yeah, I agree.

Time to get to bed.
