Nurturing Ourselves With Beauty
“Our need to take care of each other continues to be our constant, especially in times of difficulty.”

It is said that our innate emotions of love and affection is what has allowed our species to thrive and progress forward. Our need to take care of each other continues to be our constant, especially in times of difficulty. This is what defines and unites us in the circle of life and nature, why our homes are so much a part of who we are, our traditions and hopes for the future.

“We build homes, shrines to all that we deem beautiful, especially those we share our spaces with.”

As sentient beings we have the capacity towards romance, not only for others but how we see the world and the way we live. We have a favorite place to sit, a special loved one, and often the two combine. We build homes, shrines to all that we deem beautiful, especially those we share our spaces with. This is how we expand our affections, surrounding ourselves with what and who we love.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but too in the hand of the possessor: the nurturer and nurtured.”
NYC Artist John Sheppard
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but too in the hand of the possessor: the nurturer and nurtured. How we care for ourselves, those within our circle of affections, the earth we inhabit, and even those we do not know, dents the hurling future and the moments that pass. This is how life moves, threaded, to everyone and everything.
NYC Designer Brad Ford
“How we live is how we see beauty, grateful to receive as we are to give.”
NYC Artist Peter Lane
Surrounding ourselves with beauty is a mirror to who we are and what we believe to be possible, or at least hopeful. We are nurtured by what we find to be personally beautiful, transfixed and transported by a rounded stone as we are by the carved and ornate. This speaks to our need to wonder, possess and even coddle, echoing back to our ancestry of hunt and gather, traditions of romance, shelter and sheltering. How we live is how we see beauty, grateful to receive as we are to give.
