Whether it is being bombarded by media, or moaned at by teenage girls, there is no escaping the obsession that people have with superficial beauty. Beauty itself is a subjective term, but is extensively used in relation to the aesthetics and the fleeting pleasures that we often perceive.
To forget the immediate associations that we hold of the word, and to truly delight our senses, we must learn to see what our eyes cannot seek and to go into the world blind, any sight a blessing, and all experiences divine.
Submerge yourself in to a simple and innocent love where the winds ghosted trail, rains padded feet and the warmth of the touch of skin on skin softens your lips into a smile.
In doing so, we find the allure in the depth of character and the elegance of sincerity. Suddenly, we find that like the newborn in awe of the wonders it beholds, we gather around and hold dear, those who radiate a genuine and unaffected kindness with no arrogance in their gait and no mischief in their words.
I cannot conjure an image in my mind of any face that I have seen, unless I am remembering a picture from which I can attempt to recreate. I see it as a blessing, for the outside that we see is not what resonates its hold upon me, but it is the beauty within others that I remember and feel.
Perhaps it is time that we teach each other that there is only so much that bought products can do. It is the noor upon our faces and the grace that comes with the truth that is the true beauty that will never fade. It is not a matter of brown or white skin, but that of an enlightening view that it is in Gods gift that we remain, and only through self-realistion through the truth of His words can we shine.
But I guess we all want to be seen as beautiful, outside and in ;)
