As the world gets harsher , we need more beauty to surround and uplift us. Living in the UK I am fortunate to see the legacy of the Victorians in the building, stations and especially in lamp post. I am sad to see a beautiful old one replaced by a bland modern one, such a great example.
So interesting, and true. I hadn't really realized this was occurring. I own an art gallery so Im surrounded by beauty everyday. It would do a lot for the human spirit to get really creative in all our endeavors, and bring our inner beauty out into the world.
That's so great - intentionally surrounding yourself with things you find beautiful as part of your work! I think if society still valued things of beauty we'd still get properly dressed before going out in public, instead of normalizing wearing pajama pants and bedroom slippers. Remember when everyone wore hats? And put on their "Sunday best" to drop family off at the airport?

I tell people that our homes should be a sanctuary, to surround ourselves with art that speaks to our deepest selves.
Yes, I remember our Sunday best and always looking presentable.
