This piece redefines beauty not as an aesthetic standard, but as a quiet act of noticing—the way ordinary moments accumulate into something extraordinary when we dare to look closely. Your writing doesn’t just describe beauty; it performs it, word by careful word. A reminder that the definition we’ve been sold was never the real one.
I see Beauty in a different way then you described it I suppose. Even physical beauty in people. I see the joy that comes out of their soul. I see their eyes and smile that warms my heart. Augmented beauty is unimpressive to me when their spirit is vile and hateful. I see women that are 300 or more lbs who immolation beauty in their character and how they care for their appearance by making an effort. And how they treat people. I see the beauty in my mama and my Aunt Sue in their later days because their love and their characters and the way they enjoy life. You do have much physical beauty in your ‘old age’ because you are a sweet and loving lady who enjoys life and her family and sharing with people and your smile and your continence. I see beauty in the way your family and my family appreciate each other and enjoy each other and I believe it’s like that because Susan Aileen and Betty Lou and their amazing husbands Joe White & Bill Brown passed that along to us and our children mine and my cousins grandchildren. I see beauty in your mom and sisters because they are so close.
And I even see beauty deep inside some people who are sad and homeless and physically worn because we all have something beautiful inside even when they can’t emulate it. Even in the mean and angry people there is some beauty deep inside.
One of the things in your book that I bought that really touched me was how you handled sharing the characters stories about how they got there. It helped me to look at the down and destitute in a much deeper way. There’s so much beauty in you that that I see in every writing and in every post about your children. I appreciate social media for helping me to see my family in Texas and I appreciate all the beauty in all of you.
I do appreciate natural beauty too. Being physically fit and happy and healthy really brings all that out in a person no matter how they are built.
Thank you for sharing. You always cause me to ponder important things.
I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a family in which physical beauty was not so hyper focused upon as it is in a lot of areas of our society. It's that background that grounds me, inoculates me, against being pulled into the unhappiness of placing too much of my self-worth into a shallow, narrow idea of modern beauty. Thank you for your thoughtful response. I always love to hear what other people's perspectives are. Seeing the beauty or value in all different kinds of people just for being the humans they are is a valuable tool for yourself and our culture. That's what love is made of.
