Beauty

You are beautiful because I know you more, and as the song says "all the beautiful things, I'm learning about you, day by day" is what makes a person beautiful, or handsome, or attractive. "How old was he?" I never looked "Was he beautiful?" I never looked "What was he like?" Then I have an answer. There is the immediate beauty of someone as when one calls out "good morning," or "have a nice day" to a complete stranger and they reply with a smile and a twinkle in their eye. Then there's the beauty of really getting to know what makes life's joys and sorrows part of the whole experience and when that is found it is the greatest beauty of all. So what is beuatiful, it is the recognition of a whole, a complete picture, a work of art that is in the form of a person, a painting, a view, known, loved and embraced in it/their wholeness, WONDERFUL. There is no end to the beauty that develops fast, or slowly and when fully embraced without prejudice is the highest form of love obtainable in this strange old world of ours. Just put this in to amuse you, I wrote it at breakfast just now, it seemed neat in a way, although banal, old hat ? Love to all you beauties from Ann of Norway

Oh dear Sir Steven flattery will get you everywhere! I feel I was lucky not being a raving beauty as they must have such a hard life, although there are some on this Neopoets who are and they seem not to have partners, why? People fall in love with those beauty-norms for nothing but their looks.......or MONEY!!!!! No I am lucky as I have neither, and can live in the shadows like the next animal, able to choose. I have however been very blessed when it comes to love, but that's another story and has nothing to do with the subject or has it? As relationships can be so very beautiful. Its wonderful that we are all different in so many ways, variety etc. Thank you if that is appropriate. "So Nancy tickle my fancy oh my charming Billy boy" You charmer Steven. From Ann of Norway
