Act 151:
“It’s never too late… To Find The Beauty
It’s there in everything we see. Sometimes it’s shining out at us. Sometimes it’s hidden deep within. Look for the core beauty: in nature’s balances; in the human spirit; beautiful friendships; the beautiful mind; the beautiful heart.” – Patrick Lindsay
Quote in book: “Beauty is eloquent even when silent.” ~ Proverb
There is beauty all around us. We can pretty much find the beauty around us. Most people define beauty with respect to humans as physical attractiveness. However, there is beauty within. Beauty of the soul, beauty of their heart, and beauty of the spirit. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
I know sometimes we believe that people are all good or all evil or all beautiful or all ugly (because we were taught to think that way by our childhood stories)... however, that is just the fairytale we are told to believe it’s not true. There is beauty in everyone or at least that’s what I like to believe. We may have to look harder to find it for some people, but it is there. We are all beautiful in some way.
The words to this song really says what I want to say in this Act. I know it’s the laziness coming out in me, but the song really is perfect.
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, I saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don’t let anyone bring you down. You are beautiful and so is the person next to you. So let’s all have beholding eyes towards the people around us. Let’s all see beauty in others. I think the world would be a better place if we did. I leave you with this quote from St. Augustine "Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked."

There's a bright golden haze in the meadow.
There's a bright golden haze in the meadow.
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye.
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky...
Well, oh what a beautiful morning, aw now.
Yes, what a wonderful day. (Look out there).
You know I - I've got a beautiful feeling.
Everything's - everything's going my way. (Ya'll c'mon now).

While we’re young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
Treat me like I’m special
Cover me with sweetness
Cause the time will come
when we’re not so young and beautiful
While we’re young and beautiful
Livin’ free and easy
Here without a worry
Dancin’ in our barefeet
Cause when the summer’s done
We might not be so young and beautiful
