There is a manifestation of beauty that is heartbreakingly vulnerable, ephemeral and delicate. Like dew drops dangling on a spider's web, like butterfly wings, like brittle miniature sea shells, like the filigreed bones of hummingbirds.
It is precisely the fragility that renders the object beautiful. And it is the same fragility that makes it so evanescent and impossible to hold on to, to possess.
What this teaches us is to delight in what is gorgeous, here and now. And be so filled with marvel and gratitude at the miracle of Existence that neither do we want to own the object of beauty, nor grieve at its impermanence.
