Beauty

"It's beautiful!" someone exclaims over a something that I've painted. The feelings of excitement content and wonder fill me with confusion. "What do they mean?" I think to myself, why is this simple comment so hard for me to understand? When people say something is beautiful, do they mean it's pleasing to the eye, the effort put into it makes it beautiful, what do they mean? When people look at me and say to me " look at you, you're so beautiful!" Do they mean that i have a beautiful mind, personality, or looks? To me what i want people to see in me that is beautiful is a mind that can learn, explain and tell many things as i feel them. Hands that are eager to create paintings that will please your eyes, a heart yurning to know what love is really like. A voice eager and excited to help you connect in prayer even closer through the sounds that it can create. A mouth eager to speak those sacred and ancient words that connect us to G-d and make us feel in ways that words can not describe. Ears ready to listen to what ever you have to say, and a mind ready to think of a solution to whatever your problem may be. But most importantly a person, ready to do what is right. I hope you can see this in me, and if you can, than i have become the person that I've always wanted to be.
