"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you,
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Luke 12:27
Have we been here before? Did I jump ahead?
Anyway... Beauty is not what we think it is, it lies not in perfection, but rather in the imperfections.
Take the flowers for instance, what is a perfect flower? Where do you find one? How often do you see them? Let me answer the questions for you: who knows, in pictures [perhaps], not often. If you go outside and look at the flowers you will not find perfection, but you will find beauty, tons of beauty, beauty everywhere. In wilted leaves and bent stems, in petals attached and those fallen in the ground, in the brightness of colors and in the dullness of the same, in blooming grandeur and beginning buds.
Henry and I watch Dinosaur Train a lot. It has a song that goes, 'Get up, get outside, get into nature, get into nature' and if you do, you will see beauty all around. It will not be touched up or perfect, but it will be real, it will be varied. If you can focus on it you may see the world around you, and the face in the mirror a little differently.
+ How do you define beauty?
+ How do you see yourself?
