All things radiate forth an intense aliveness.
The willingness to bear witness to this radiance is what allows us to perceive beauty in anything.
It's possible to look at a garbage can, filled with banana peels, coffee grains, egg shells, maggots, used paper towel, mouldy leftovers from the back of the fridge, baby diapers, and a fish carcass, and still see the beauty radiating forth.
Certainly it may not have the aesthetic qualities that make it worthy of becoming a painting for the wall... but it IS beautiful. It is beautiful because it is the perfect expression of that which it is.
A rosebud is not an imperfect rose. It is a perfect rosebud. Neither is more beautiful in its essence...because the essence of all which is real is Truth!
Beauty, in a sociological sense, is simply that which we least object to. Objectively speaking, it is the reward for transcending our objections.
