Meditation on beauty
This came while listening to a very nice ASMR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdL37vtjl3o
These things are eternal,
They change not:
The sound of running streams,
The shade of tall trees,
Singing of birds,
Laughter of children.
Such things have no price.
Evil wishes them gone,
Self-absorbtion casts them aside,
Ambition sees them as a marker of value.
But no-one takes them,
No-one makes them.
They are given,
Free,
Gratuitously,
Generously.
Take and see - it is good!
