Continuing with the ability to recognize beauty - this time in music.
A friend recently shared the song with me, "The Execution" composed by George Fenton from Anna and the King.

Another Way of Knowing
Very few people realize that Doughton Park is a National Park. It doesn't get the visitors it deserves perhaps because people move at a quicker pace today and require more electronic stimulation. But I have yet to come away from a visit there unfulfilled.
I am grateful for the ability to perceive depth and color and light,
To be drawn beyond myself.
All the evolutionary talk of preserving life in DNA and gradual mutation to bring about change and survival of species,
Doesn't explain for me why man can recognize and interpret beauty.
For there is more to this world than mere existence,
And I can know beauty in these forms without language.
