When I think of yearning in relation to true beauty, it is not yearning to recapture that perfect moment. It is yearning for an existence that fully embodies that moment.

So, Ax, are you saying that anything that is truly beautiful is grounded in pain, sorrow and the brokenness of being human? If so, that's an interesting thought. I'd be inclined to agree, except that I think there is a kind of beauty that transcends the imperfect but is far deeper, far more real tha...
