Beauty is a profound quality that integrates conflicting and contradictory streams into a larger wholeness. It is not limited to superficial smoothness but embraces roughness, depth, and dimension. The ability to appreciate beauty requires a skillful gaze and a cultivation of attention. Placing attention on each other allows us to perceive the infinite beauty that exists in every individual. Love and attention are deeply intertwined, and the ability to truly see and appreciate one another's beauty is a fundamental human right. The cosmetic industry often hijacks this right by promoting superficial and tinsel beauty, obscuring the deeper and more nuanced expressions of true beauty. However, true beauty is found in scars and imperfections, in the integration of opposites, and in the dance of polarity and paradox. Being able to perceive and celebrate beauty is essential for a meaningful and enriching life.
