The Sadness of Beauty

-
There is a great intent of sadness in beauty.

It’s there to make it real.

Sorrow makes it easier

To place real beauty in this world.

Fake beauty is never deep enough.

Won’t touch the heart.

Will touch

the ego.

Paola Ranova

(1996)

Discernment is not about rigidity, though. It is a fine-tuned sophisticated aspect of consciousness that protects us from harm. (Paola Ranova, March 8th, 2015.

Raddie loves Simon & Garfunkel and in this story she mentions Paul Simon's version of a famous Andean song, which he called "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)".
