'Beauty is not in the face.
Beauty is a light in the heart.
~Kahlil Gibran~
Beauty that is true and everlasting
is not to be found in features nor facades.
It sprouts from somewhere deeper,
a pocket untouchable by time
and unfathomable in its depth.
It is uplifting and contagious…
it calls out to you across the room,
charging its way into your presence like a steam train.
Real beauty is not all about a porcelain complexion,
nor a 27 inch waist…
…features will fade and ripen with time,
leaving only truth,
the essence of character.
There is beauty in the lines upon your body,
they tell your story of a life loved and lived…
…and those grey hairs that start appearing,
one day,
some day,
they are a totem of knowledge and of knowing,
only possible with the passing of years.
There is beauty in compassion
and laughter
and light…
There is beauty in imperfection,
and shadows,
and truth.
And there is beauty in you…
you may not see it in yourself,
but ask anyone who loves you,
anyone who believes in you…
you
are
Sigh * not only is your storytelling equisite but so are the photographs ~ thank you for being you B ~ xox
