Clair de Lune is one of the most Beautiful pieces of music that I have ever heard.. the slow undulating waves of sound; rising and fulling, scaling through the Octaves, building and climbing to a Grand section of music in the middle of the piece. Blazing like the full moon in the deep night sky, and then wanning slowly and softly to a halt. Clair de Lune -- is French, literally meaning 'moonlight'. Soft at the start, bright in the middle and soft at the end. the sing matches the three stages of the moon. Beginning, Middle and End.
Sun Sets. A display of colour and rest. A party of life, energy and warmth. Looking at a Sun Set you see the many wonders of the solar system, to think that the sun is 149.6 million kilometers away from the Earth and yet appears so big, it's 109 times wide then the Earth. A mass of swirling, twisting, billowing gas. Calm yet explosive at the same time. we live off the sun, the original source of food, with out it plants would not photosynthesize, there for no food for animals and then not food for us... a truly scary thought the something so far away is woven in to our lives so momentously. Truly a Beautiful part of our life.
but my first thought when someone disagrees with my idea of Beauty is 'what would you know? Philistine!' but what if beauty is not in the eye of the beholder? we all have eyes. so we all see the same things. we all share the sight or the 'Beauty'. so what don't we share...
Thoughts... Feelings....
What if Beauty is linked with our thoughts and feelings? when i listen to the undulating sound of Clair de Lune i feel lifted, my happiness and sorrow floating with the notes on the air. The sight is not the Beauty, the feeling you get when you see that sight is.
so where am i going with this??
happiness is Beauty. I'm not saying that to be happy you have to be Beatuiful, thats 100% not what i'm saying. To be Beautiful you have to be HAPPY :) x
