Pulchritude. What a weird name for a blog. My dad introduced me to the word some ten years ago and it has stuck with me ever since. It escapes me how such a complicated, jarring word could mean something beautiful–most likely a woman who is beautiful.
I guess that’s how life is sometimes. You know, you can always find beauty amidst the ugly. Of course, it must go both ways. That whole law of opposition always comes into play. As Leonard Cohen points out, you just need someone to “show you where to look among the garbage and the flowers.”
I’d rather find the flowers in life.
