Our beauty outside is a fleeting thing, is but a mask we all wear. And in time something we must all surrender, when the mask we see in our mirror is no longer pleasing. But it's the beauty within us that truly matters, and once discovered and acknowledged never really disappears.
Outer beauty can be seen with a glance. Inner beauty must be discovered. By ourselves firstly and then recognized by others who care enough to dig a little deeper.
This write was inspired by the thoughtful poem "Reflections versus perceptions" by our lovely friend C.J. Sutherland.
