Beauty

 In beginning to blog, I've noticed that I've been really overusing the word beautiful. I should probably use more adjectives in my writing. Probably in general as well...
Anyhow, I've just finished reading Skinny Legs And All, by Tom Robbins, It might just be my third favorite book.  This I loved so much:  "She would dedicate herself to... Well, she'd have to call it "beauty" for want of a better word. She wouldn't be sentimental about it, or self-righteous, or even spiritual and pure. and she wouldn't get defensive when ridiculed or misunderstood. Beauty she would not carry like a banner, nor would she take refuge from the world in it like a hermit in a shack. beauty would just be her everyday thing."
