been thinking about this a lot after spending time in a hospital and hospital room devoid of much beauty - we need beauty for the whole of us.

this also makes me think of Keith Lowery’s essay here:

as well as The Ethics of Beauty which I know Anna Marie and others have talked so highly about:

A thought I keep having as continue the seemingly endless task of putting my home back together after the fire we had:

Beauty is an antidote to demoralization.

It is a heartening, an encouragement, a way to revitalize our spirits.

There is a bottomless well of goodness available to us, and this is reflected back to us through what is beautiful.

Beauty must be prioritized!
