Marsha, As usual, you're right. Nothing wrong with thinking. It keeps us alive. But, it can block us from seeing what's right in front of our noses. Like sometimes the best place to hide something is in plain sight. But, you put your finger on it -- "beautiful," summed up nicely by George Santayana: "Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable; what it is or what it means can never be said." Beauty and DQ -- inseparable.
