Part One Experiencing Beauty — What is Beautiful and Why (total time: 36 minutes, 20 seconds)
CD-one, Track #1: Introduction to “What is Beautiful and
Why”
This is an explanation of the cast’s exploration of experiencing
Beauty. We concluded that Beauty is that which attracts and keeps
our attention because it is pleasing to see or hear or smell or
taste or
feel or think about. This sensual experience often relaxes or stuns
the body, and makes the mind pause. We compare experiencing Beauty
to a reflex - like when you spontaneously laugh or cry. Furthermore,
intentionally taking the time and effort to notice Beauty in the
World and in other people can lead to being alert to its frequency
in our
lives – and to an outlook and attitude that can make living
very interesting, pleasant, and meaningful.
