One thing I’m certain of, one thing doesn’t fade as the realness of life settles in- beauty matters.
Not this superficially smooth, characterless, never ending void of engineered slop . . . no.
That’s not real beauty.
I mean the beauty that stops you when you walk into a home where the family is happy.
The beauty of a couple whose hands are covered in wrinkles, physical proof of the labor of love.
The beauty of a good heart where the warmth of charity radiates like a fire.
The beauty you feel as well as see.
Real beauty matters because it’s beauty that lifts us and inspires us to reach upward.
This I know to be true.
