Withering beauty From the beginning to the end, each stage with its own beauty, it’s own emotions, maybe our steps vary, but we all experience the same process. We are nature, nature provides equilibrium, nature restores, nature reflects our inner being. During the past few years I have been thinking about ageing. About what comes with time and the splendor within. Like all flowers and plants, I see the expression of this beauty and the process of decaying. We need to become mindful to notice the subtleness, fragility, peace, and magnificence that age provokes in nature.
