Dear Friends,
I've been thinking about what beauty is in this post-modern world. I mean the beauty of human beings. The magazine racks at the grocery store are filled with pictures of what "beauty" is and "beauty" is not. Beauty, according to those sources, is skinny, blond, wears 4 inch high heels, and always has perfect makeup.
Can we change our image of beauty? That takes some work inside ourselves. A few weeks ago I was at an event with many older women. Some were big and some were small. Many were wrinkled. And many had smiles on their faces and big hugs for the friends they greeted.
How can we say that is not beauty? Why not say: "beautiful" to every human being? Why not see the spark of life that makes them beautiful? Who are we to say any human being is not beauty?
Warmly,
meb
