You Are Beautiful!
I wish you could look into the mirror and see beyond your face, way past the surface to see more. More than what the world sees, more than what your friends see, more than I or even you can see. Forget what everything around you tells you to be. Be who you are. That’s good enough. The following is for you, my friend. You are beautiful!
I see your face, and it’s beautiful. Each tells a unique story. There is the remote possibility of similarity, but after careful observation of expression it’s easy to discern that no two are alike. Factor in lines, blemishes, texture and color and you’ll find a story of a life lived and still in progress.
There is the potential of seeing great happiness and joy. All too often I see misery, despair, heartache and pain, but that face too is still remarkably beautiful in my eyes because we all share one common characteristic. We all yearn for the story of life to improve upon our face, and we hang onto that possibility for dear life because we were born with that innate quality.
As I hiked through the city today, I found myself studying faces and in doing so I felt like I was reading books. Many appeared to be uplifting stories with happy endings in the making. Sadly, I saw others that were destined for perpetual sadness.
I saw so many people in need of care and attention, in search of someone to listen to their every woe. I think many would like to hear that ultimately everything will be all right, but there are no more guarantees in life, as if there ever were.
I believe it’s important for us all to champion the other’s cause, reaching out when we see a face compromised by a burdensome life. It’s not so easy to do, lending a hand that might be misunderstood, but we must make the attempt. I believe this is a genuine way to improve our karma and at the same time, help heal the world.
Anything is worth a shot, and when I take my walks of meditation I attempt to map out a new plan of action each time so that I too can do my part, creating positive energy that will bring us face to face in a more harmonious way. I see your face, and it’s beautiful. – paerki
