Sometimes beauty makes my heart ache. Literally.
I don't understand that though. How could something so overwhelming lovely to the senses also bring pain? Maybe because it awakens the heart to desire--and often the purest of desires seem to be the hardest and most pain-staking to satisfy--maybe even never to be satisfied here on earth. In moments like these, I find myself thankful that C.S. Lewis took time to pen this thought--
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
