beauty

Wrinkles around my eyes
(From time spent outside, smiling in the sun!)
Silver hairs around my crown,
Yet surrounded by a culture where the signs of age and wisdom are 
erased, avoided, and surgically removed

What does this say about our culture?  What we honor, and value?

I say we respect, uplift and admire the signs of wisdom

Let's honor those who have come before us,
Let's redefine beauty, 
Embrace smile lines and hair silver like the moon. . .
and not in the name of fashion or trends, 
but in the name of 
Truth 
Beauty
and Love
(just for starters)
