Decay’s Gift challenges our ideas of where beauty resides. Beauty is associated with freshness, perfection, or permanence. But if beauty is confined to what has not yet faded, we overlook one of creation’s fundamental truths.
All living things move through a rhythm of birth, flourishing, decline, and death. Each stage depends upon the others. What appears to be an ending becomes nourishment for what follows. Decay is not merely the loss of life but the quiet work that makes new life possible, and essential to the story of beauty. By embracing the fullness of these cycles, we discover that beauty is not diminished by time or mortality but deepened through transformation.
