“Accessing beauty ‘involves inner silence: letting go of thoughts, breaking in from the inside out’. As beauty is a no-thing, it cannot be possessed, in fact nothing can be possessed and yet we are plagued with the need to cling to people or places or objects because we are afraid to loose them. What we do not realize is that they are already lost to us. Instead of grasping for thin air we must learn to come to peace with the idea that everything is born into this world free. It is not our business to capture, so we may throw away our butterfly nets and simply enjoy.”
