“She loved the cemetery because it was quiet and beautiful. Grown-ups argued so much when they were alive. No one argued when they were dead. And the dead didn’t hurt you.”

“When nature no longer enchants us, we must face disenchantment, the sense that the world has lost its wonder. If we suffer from the loss of authentic experience, it is because beauty has been commodified or simulated, and the sublime has become unreachable. (“Absence of Beauty is like Hell“ ).”

“And my heart swells at the silly, simple human fact that when we stumble upon something beautiful, our first instinct is to show it to the people we love. It’s what we do with pretty seashells on a beach, a radiant sunset, a rare bird flitting through the trees, a heard of wild horses grazing in the countryside. “Look,” we say, saving these little pieces of beauty for each other, “Do you see it too? Isn’t the world such a strange, lovely, breathtaking place?”

“That night, there was a girl at the dance. I gave her a rose. She was so happy. I didn't understand why she cared so much about a rose, a stupid rose that was missing petals. I understand now. Now that all the beauty of my old life is gone, I crave it like food. A beautiful thing like this rose -- I almost want to eat it, to swallow it whole to replace the beauty I've lost. That's how that girl was too.”

“I'm fighting for beauty. A lot of people get confused by that because the only definition of beauty that they've inherited is so basic and flat that they just associate beauty with that commodity that we're told grants people power. That is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is: Beauty is your soul's fingerprint on the earth, and no one else in the world can have your beauty. Beauty is when I'm speaking to someone and I'm like: I could talk to you for the rest of my life because I can finally breathe again. The world for me is a series of drowning and then having conversations with people where I can finally breathe again. And the reason I can breathe is because it's you, it's not that imprint of what you've been told - the cookie-cutter sheet that says: Hi, I only know myself from my identities. So beauty work for me is actually deep healing work to say: Who am I outside of what I've been told I should be? Beauty is about that attitude of showing up and saying: I'm worthy of being here. -Alok”
