Lovely Objects
Beauty is all around us in the natural world. From moonlit nights to stargazing, it is easy to be captivated by the beauty of the sky, trees, animals, and so much more. But when we look at our closest companions, inanimate objects, we don’t always recognize their beauty. Whether it’s a piece of furniture or a tool, these things we use in our everyday lives can have an inherent beauty of their own.
Take, for example, bicycles. A tool that has been around for hundreds of years, but has changed drastically over time. There are so many varieties and styles of bicycles, each with its own unique beauty. A sleek road bike, with its angular lines, can be a work of art. Its supple curves and intricate details make it a joy to behold and use. A single speed bicycle with exposed frame, hand-built wheels, and simple detailing, draws attention to its craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The same attention to beauty can be seen in furniture and everyday household items. From exquisitely carved, wooden chairs to delightfully detailed, white porcelain dishes. From elaborately decorated vases to handcrafted tea sets. All of these objects, in their own way, will stir a feeling of beauty and appreciation in anyone who takes the time to truly admire them.
Even when we look down the street and observe the objects that surround us, its amazing to recognize the beauty they can contain. From carefully crafted monuments, to beautiful hand-painted signs and unique public art. Even the streetlights and lampposts that have been carefully placed throughout our towns and cities, have been thoughtfully designed and shaped to bring light and beauty to the area.
In todays world, we are often so focused on our day-to-day lives, that we fail to pause and admire the beauty of the world around us. Whether you have a passion for sports, or a love of art, it is important to take the time to appreciate the beauty of the objects around us. In doing so, we will recognize the creative minds that made them, the processes that shaped them, and the much-needed beauty they add to our lives. So, next time you go for a walk or just look around, try to seek out the beauty from the lovely objects that surround you.
