The Face of Beauty
So much is hidden behind a face. So much more to a person than what meet’s the eye. Do we dare to see the true beauty in that person? Or does our fear of not being as beautiful hinder our perception? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say beauty is simply in the eyes. Look deeply into another human being. Pass through their face and see them for who they really are. The face we have chosen is only our protection, our façade. Our depth, our wisdom and our true beauty is encased within.
A few observations of this very thing from a class: (I took the liberty of renaming each based upon the way I perceived their beauty.)
Joy – A young man who feels with his heart and expresses it in his smile. Lean and tall, but possessing a quality of elegance. Reminds me of a gazelle, but yet – his confidence brings in great strength. Just being next to him calms and inspires. His smile welcomes you in as his eyes twinkle with mischief.
Qui – The hard angles of her bone structure accentuated by her cropped hair following her jaw line. But the way she moves; her gracefulness, her feet barely touching the floor as she formed her poses. Her hands, small and delicate, belying the strength in her face. Eyes that hold people from getting too close. As if warning not to come any nearer. Her sidewise glance though – looking to see if you will follow…
Benny – Young with curly brown hair and glasses. Eager and studious. He makes me feel giddy. His face is bright and his eyes are drinking in each and every motion. Praise brings a grin that splits his face. His bubbling joy brings a smile to my face as well. I can’t hold back and want to giggle.
Asher – The impression he greets me with is one of mild humor and a bit of annoyance. My presence will delay his progression. His voice is quiet and smooth like a river. His touch almost seductive. He is so gentle in his movements. Just barely hidden under the surface, I can feel the chaos that he harbors in his life. Silently trying to accept what he can’t control.
