The Sublimity of Beauty

I just witnessed a girl do a liturgical dance to an R&B version of "Amazing Grace" as part of the Holy Thursday Prayer Service at school. Despite the fact that the young miss was comely indeed, I was struck by her elegance, to the point where I even felt tears welling up. It is difficult to be serious on a subject like this, given the pervasivness with which we believe that all motivations are sexual, but I find myself believing that beauty reflects something else, something older and deeper.





Ah, well. Perhaps I'm just a sucker for "Amazing Grace". I'll have to listen to the Dropkick Murphy's version when I get home today.
