Simple is very Complex... And Simple can be Beautiful...




Let us look at a substance that everyone encounters on a regular basis; Glass. Though it seems to be a very simple substance that we use for windows, lighting, and spectacles, it's elements are so complex. What is glass made of?; Sand. the tiniest grain of sand can be as old as life itself. Sand is a naturally occurring granular material comprised of finely divided rock and mineral particles. These rocks and minerals come from age old magma that covered this earth millions of years ago. Yet the tiniest grain of sand seems so simple. When you actually step back and look at something it can be seen in a very different way. When I look at a tiny grain of sand I believe it to be so beautiful just for the mere fact of what it has been through to be what it is...

To me you have to isolate something in order to appreciate it. When you don't take those few minutes your acting as ignorant as the next person. But the fact of the matter is that ignorant people will never be able to experience true beauty in its finest state.
