Marvel at beauty.

I’ve noticed that by solidly ignoring the people around me, I can really focus on my own reaction to something and savor it more. I have to be ready to discount the reactions of others in order to be more sensitive to my own. I don’t know if that is just me, or what. But it is what I have to do, and it works. I’m doing this more often. Perhaps I’ll even let my reaction show more, and master the art of doing that regardless of any reactions. This will free up my inner capacity to enjoy. The bark relates to the sap.

This is the ultimately wonderful thing to do. I find that usually only very young and very old people are willing to do it with abandon, or openly at all. Most people between these ages lack the self-esteem to indulge themselves, so preoccupied with what others will think of them.
And, to a degree, I don’t blame them. There is no more of a “fly in one’s soup” than a person who has to sit there and gawk at YOU while you enjoy something subjectively. People are such apeish asses in this regard, especially here in the U.S., and especially here in Texas.
Go to hell, you apeish asses, I’m going to enjoy beauty wherever and whenever I see it, and if you stand there or sit there and gawk and stare at me instead of doing such a thing yourself, then you are a coward and a moron. You are missing out on life, and you don’t have much of one either. Your children probably suffocate under your stolid insipidity, and your soul must be a shriveled and warped sort of thing.
Yes, I am going to continue to marvel at beauty, and let my soul unfurl, right in front of whatever Cretan may sit there in mock pose, as if somehow dignified in being corpselike or gawkish. Guess what, I’m flying far and above those who do that, and I’m reaching greater heights of enjoyment, and I’m growing more and more immune to their silliness and moronically faux pas staidness. I’m growing and enjoying it, and there isn’t a damn thing anyone is going to do to stop me!!!
HAH!!!

we so rarely take it in, and life’s so much better when we do.
thank you for reminding me.

I saw something beautiful today… very
