Not As Ugly

Life is not so ugly. In fact, pain isn't that ugly either. If you look closely, you'll discover the hidden beauty inside of each of these things. There's beauty to be found in the ugliest situations. It may not seem like it, but it's true.

These poems will take you on a beautiful and passionate journey through the fires of love, the desserts of loneliness and isolation, the jungles of uncertainty and fear, and the paradise of self-discovery. In the end, you'll discover, as Randy did, that beauty is all around us, and that all things serve the purpose of making our lives better. There's an inherent beauty in everything; we just have to search for it.

Join the search. Make the discovery. And behold the beauty that is . . . life.
