"Being always transcends appearance-that which only seems to be. Once you begin to know the being behind the very pretty or very ugly face, as determined by your bias, the surface appearances fade away until they simply no longer matter."-WM. Paul Young-The Shack

I have always been a believer that what is inside or real is so much more important but society makes us biased to what is beauty.  Beauty was my grandmother's gnarled, twisted elderly hand.  Beauty is a bald chemo patient's head.  Beauty is looking deeply into people's eyes.  Beauty is not always what you see at first.  The outside packaging does not always reflect the spirit that is in, around, and through us.  I try so hard to let that spirit that is within me radiate out.  Let us all get past what you see at first to what lies just beyond-it is an amazing view!  Peace!
