Beauty?

I just couldn't stop myself from expressing this, but what happened to all that talk about natural beauty and self acceptance? Of late I've been seeing more and more ads about beauty products in the course of my short cartoon, science shows and movies and the newer ones really have started to bother me.

Forget... A Fool's Ramblings?

In this busy life,
Amidst the rush and rife,
Often do we forget our kith and kin
Our friends but not enemies
Love but not hatred
Reason  and often logic.

In the quest for the big
and the thirst for power
Often do we forget the beauty of the small.
The flutter of the wings
The sound of the raindrops
The smell of the first rain
The twinkling of the stars.

In the wake of a new age
And a new found life
Often do we forget what we ought realise.
The balance of nature
Our eternal bonds with it
The insignificance of our beings
And the echoes of the past.

Where are we sprinting off to?
In search of a golden treasure
            at the end of the rainbow?
In pursuit of some greater content?
To make the world a better place?
[But for whom?]
Or is it just some great big misunderstanding
Or just a fool's ramblings?

Busy with life..............

Our classroom has one wall full windows and it is beautiful outside with lots of plants outside.

The other day I was just thinking and something struck me! We are so unaware of the stunning beauty outside our man made prisons and we are missing so much of our lives !

"How pitiful ",I thought.Hmmmm what to do? I have no idea. Hope people would realise how much of life they are missing

A beautiful site

I was just browsing today and came across this beautiful site

http://kloggers-randomramblings.blogspot.com/

The site features some very beautiful pictures of some plants and animals that the author observed and a small description of the creature.

What attracted me the most is the authors eye for observation and beauty and her curiosity .
Only if everyone were as active and curious then the world would have been a better place.
