Assessing and rating beauty is very subjective.  We consider a combination of qualities, (e.g., shape, color, or form), relative to their impact on our aesthetic senses, primarily but not exclusively, sight.

This can involve a complex analysis which could be concluded in a moment or taken over hours or days to settle into our consciousness before we proclaim if it is a thing of beauty.

Simple yet Complex

Typically things consist of many different and connected parts, both real and imaginary.  Those that are plain, natural and easy to understand (i.e., simple) contain an intrinsic beauty only because they are simple.

Appreciating simple things, embracing their beauty and allowing it to enhance our lives is something we often overlook.  In the bustle and drive of life itself, it is usually the more complex things we concentrate on.

The pause to appreciate the beauty of simplicity will frequently be refreshing but the value is not always, if ever, really apparent.  We often don’t recognize the value of simplicity.

Even the simple things may exist on multiple levels but little to no effort is required to comprehend and enjoy the beauty.  Yet, we frequently pass it by, treating the common place and routine as unimportant.

To Our Detriment

Unfortunately passing by those things of simple yet elegant beauty  without pause or recognition is a missed opportunity.  Things  do not need to be challenging in order to be fullfilling.

Observe, take moment, enjoy and embrace  the obvious, you won’t regret it.
