Beauty is absolute in the moment it’s perceived. Features fade. Beauty has nothing to do with time.

You almost make me want to put off retirement and keep working at this job, working with autistic kids. Don’t fuck me up! Flipping beautiful story. That makes me feel again the beauty of my career.

And remember the times I have seen Buddhist/Navaho sand-painters let astonishing creations go with the wind.
