The Beauty of People

I have always been fascinated by people. The way their hair hangs and moves. The way their eyes twinkle or sag. The wrinkles on their faces, that show the joy and pain they have endured and enjoyed. The young and the old. The small and the big. The differences in emotion in men and women. The way people look when they think and contemplate.

I truly believe the eyes give you a glimpse of the soul. You can see so much in a persons eyes.

It is interesting to me that even though not one of us is exactly alike, we are all seeking similar things. To be loved, accepted, needed. To see beauty, to be warm, to have no worries or troubles. To be good, feel good.

We recently got a world map and have been looking at it. It intrigues me that there is so much land, but people crowd together. They find a place...make it a city...and huddle together. For example, New York, Paris, L.A., London, on and on...even in our own little cities we huddle together. We seek friendships. We in a way, cuddle together and keep each other company.

I was recently introduced to "50 people 1 question" I loved it! It's amazing how different we all are, but at the same time how similar we all are. So check it out and enjoy the beauty of people!

So where would you wish to wake up? I really like that 50 people 1 question idea. That is so fun. When we stop and realize that we are all people who want to be loved and accepted, it does put us on the same level somehow. When we think of each other that way, we are all beautiful. Nice.
