Beauty making is an essential element of creation. Life is not just a Darwinian concept of "survival of the fittest". That is a scientist and materialist view of creation, not an artist version. How did the bird become so beautiful, colorful and sweet sounding? It certainly wasn't just inspired by trying to survive another day. If this was true there would be a lot of drab and plain looking birds with depressing songs.
Somehow, the process of beauty making is so essential to life that it occurs even on the cellular level. Look at the amazing beauty of the developing embryo, of the catepillar reforming into a butterfly. Beauty forming is not only life affirming it is life making, the essential engine of creation and evolution. It is life loving itself! Neem Koroli Baba said " The best form to worship God is all forms". So let's all make beauty and love!
This is dedicated to my beauty making sister, Ariana.
