Beauty

Recommended Read: The Other Side of the Hedge by E. M. Forster
Alright, I'm not going to lie -- I'm not satisfied with my mixpod.
The trouble is, due to all sorts of copyright restrictions attached to some videos on Youtube, the songs that I want played in my mixpod don't usually work. For example, my idea mixpod would have included the following extra songs...

  1. Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Glee
  2. Generator First Floor by Freelance Whales
  3. Mykonos by Fleet Foxes
  4. Red Rabbits by The Shins
  5. Girls Like You by The Naked and Famous
  6. Monsters by Hurrican Bells
  7. Hang Me Up to Dry by Cold War Kids
Ah well.
On a brighter note, today I had the privilege of wading knee-deep into the bright blue wave-rippling ocean and skipping rocks from where I stood, as well as coming home in time to witness a glorious sunset over Victoria Harbour -- the sky split into shafts of pale pink and gold, and the red blazed clouds shot through with light by the sun beamed down upon the sea, boats and mountains.
All day I've thought, "What is beauty?"
I decided, as I've thought all along, that nature was and is the fountainhead and forever replenishing source of true beauty.
