Beauty

 

I started growing a garden. Up to this point I’ve harvested two cucumbers and a sweet pepper. Needless to say the results haven’t been everything I was hoping for. As I was out working in the garden I noticed that the miniature rose bush that I bought my wife for valentines day had bloom and the beauty of the roses were really shinning through. Because my roses were in a pot near my garden, it got me thinking about the question, “why roses?” You don’t eat roses and I don’t think they’re used for any medicinal reason. The only thing they really exist for is to be beautiful. That is their function. It’s as if the existence of beauty were just as important as food. One plant makes cucumbers the other makes beautiful flowers and both are needed. Do you notice beauty around you in your everyday life? Where?
