"There are times when beauty reveals itself slowly.
Human culture seems
to build its temples of meaning
in the wrong places, in the garish
marketplaces
of transient fashion and public image. Beauty tends to
avoid
the siren call of the obvious. Away from the blatant center,
it
prefers the neglected margin. Beyond the traffic of
voyeuristic seeing,
beauty waits until the patience
and depth of a gaze are refined enough
to engage
and discover it. In this sense, beauty is not a quality
externally present in something. It emerges at the threshold
where
reverence of mind engages the subtle presence
of the other person, place
or object.”
