I am reminded of this quote i agree with - "Blessed are the weird people. Poets, misfits, writers, mystics, painters and troubadours. For they teach us to see the world through different eyes." I think its by Jacob Noeby. I couldnt agree more. See if you look at your beloved, its just a skeleton with hollow eye sockets and big rib cage with layers of blood, guts, flesh and other things that make up the anatomy held in place tightly by the skin that sheds everyday. And if i were to start telling you the disgusting facts about the human body and what it does as a living breathing entity, am sure not everyone would be interested in the "gross" but well real details. Thats where rose tinted glasses come in. And Thank God for that. Thank God for imagination, fantasy and creativity. Love songs are written praising the beauty of the beloved. Describing the intensity of their eyes or the sensuousness of the mouth, the softness of the skin, the flawlessness in the shape and so on and so forth. And its not limited to the physical realm. The acts of kindness and grace. The very qualities that make us human. Seeing beauty in the ordinary. Creating special out of mundane. Seeing things what others dont see and from a skewed perspective. Adding beauty and depth to life without which it would be very dry and without meaning. We all need a touch of romance. In everything. In every day living. Yes the brain is hard wired to read only cold hard objective facts but put on those rose tinted glasses and see the magic. After all, you live life through perspective. Let it be a sweet one.
