"Do we always prefer the harmonious to the discordant, whatever that distinction
might look like to us? It is not my place to say that the music youre listening
to sounds terrible. On that note, harmony is very much its own kind of
beautiful, and it looks and feels like different things to all of us. For me,
harmony is found in the way tree branches will sometimes grow curving around to
hold each other, the way rain disappears into the surface of the sea, the
sitting and sighing in front of landscapes that are too large to comprehend, and
when we have enough energy left to dance at the end of the day."
Writer and illustrator Ella Frances Sanders shares more in this lovely excerpt
from her latest book, "Everything Beautiful: A Guide to Finding Hidden Beauty
in the World."
