"It is the lines in a persons face that lets us know how much they have laughed, considered carefully, grimaced in their lifetime." Leonard Koren
I remember when I was about twenty-five, talking to a woman who must have been in her late thirties or early forties; she told me I was beautiful. I explained to her that while it was possible I was pretty, I could not achieve full beauty until I had grown a little older and my face showed a few lines and wrinkles; those are the signs of wisdom, and true beauty can only be born of wisdom.
I feel vanity creep into my thought process, and I often long for my youth. Today reminds me that I can still be beautiful.
