What is Beauty?

Assalamualaikum Silent reader(s) ;-)

Beauty. Some people don’t even recognise beauty

when it’s right in front of them. 
They can walk through a sunset

or a brilliant forest of orange trees, and not even notice.

Other people see beauty and do appreciate it. 
They will stop and take it in. 
They may even feel overwhelmed by it. But it ends there. 
That person is like the one who appreciates art,
but never inquires about the artist.
The artwork itself was intended to communicate a message from the artist;
but if the art lover loses himself in the painting
- but never sees the message, that artwork hasn’t fulfilled its true purpose.
The purpose of the glorious sun,
 first fallen snow,
crescent moons
and breathtaking oceans
 is not to decorate this lonely planet.
The purpose is far deeper than that.
