The Heartache of Beauty

Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by something so incredibly beautiful, it leaves you with a twinge of sadness? Shawn Boonstra explores this perplexing paradox of how experiencing beauty can produce joy and sadness, all at the same time.

So very true. When joy overwhelms me, I sometimes feel tears running down my face for no apparent reason at all. I don't really feel sadness, but rather gratitude. Blessings from New Zealand 😂.

When I was this little kid in geography class, I used to read a chapter or two ahead of what we were studying because of the picture of the titled page, and sometimes the story behind it would be so compelling that I would let myself just drift off into mysterious places as if I had implanted myself into the photographs while reading. My emotions sometimes would also get the best of me to the point of maybe an outburst or something, but my teacher and classmates make fun of me about it forever. But getting to know God more have both made happier and sadder than I have ever been mostly because I am convicted by the Holy Spirit.
