Justin Beiber - I'll Show you - 2015
I've experienced first hand the effects aesthetics can have on a person. It actually partially cured me from a very disabling illness I suffered with several years ago...I won't get in to it...but it was very traumatizing for me. If you are someone that is visually inspired I am pretty sure it would have a similar effect on you! My grandfather currently suffers with dementia, and I find one of his rare solaces is admiring something of beauty...be it a color, shape, or simply a scenic walk.
I recently 'liked' a page called 'earth porn', which has many beautiful pictures that were taken from all over the world. I, myself, visited Sweden in 2012, and I can't even remember exactly what I saw when I went up the mountains there; all I remember is that I was in total awe at its beauty. I took a photograph; and to say that the photograph didn't live up to the experience itself is a vast understatement! And for some reason ever since aesthetics and beauty really resonate with me, and in a way calm me down. It's a strange thing, because although I was not consciously aware of it, the seed was planted. I never ever thought I would be a 'nature loving' 'tree huger' hippy type of crazy artist woman...but I guess I am? It's something that doesn't quite fit me...but its found its way in to who I am some how? Meditation is a necessity in this day and age...and if there is no one there to distract you and bring you in to the moment...you have to turn to another resource. And just look at the beibes lovin life up in iceland. Now, to me, Justin is still very much a kid...and his music is not the greatest. However, this video is really a thing of beauty ((*****)) Justin me auld flower!
Appreciation is really what cuts us apart from each other...one person may get a kick out of standing atop a mountain while feeling the air fill his lungs, another may find joy and solace at home, painting...others can appreciate both equally! Either way I want to post some of my favorite pictures of our planet up here...and I'd love it if at least one of them would make you feel appreciative.
