Beauty...

This week has been one in which the physical has taken center stage in our train of thought... contemplating beauty a little bit... asking ourselves,

What 'real' beauty is?

Does it have a universal meaning?

Is it the length and thickness of ones hair?

or is it the width of ones' hips....

Is beauty a skin colour? or is it the richness and texture of fabrics and jewellery adorning ones skin?

Perhaps beauty is personal...unique in its meaning and feeling.

Maybe its skin deep, or a rather complex emotion...I mean what if beauty, 'real' beauty lies 'asleep' in the depths of our souls?

can we really give 'beauty' a meaning?

Do we see beauty exclusively, or can we feel it? Do we fully understand or appreciate beauty at all? or do we fall in line and accept that beauty is whatever everyone else says it is.

This is us, just thinking out loud, putting thoughts down on paper 'coz maybe then it will sort of make sense...

maybe it will be the beginning of a movement. A movement in which we invite others to to contemplate beauty with us, to share what beauty has meant to and for them. To destroy this idea that beauty is universal, and looks a certain way....because we have to and dare to believe that beauty... 'real' beauty goes far beyond any vanity that has become such a part of our everyday lives!
