I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.
In college, I used to underline sentences that struck me, that made me look up from the page.

The beauty of Maine is such that you can't really see it clearly while you live there.

Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.
I feel an important part of beauty is not only what you do on the outside but also what you put into the inside. Good fresh food with many vegetables along with love and caring for others. I spend way more time serving others than I do on my beauty routine daily.
