FOCUS FRIDAY: WRINKLES

WRINKLES.

On this 

FLOWER,

wrinkles are

BEAUTIFUL.

They add wondrous 

CHARACTER.

IMAGINE

the flower

WITHOUT

the

WRINKLES.

BORING.

At first, I intended to make this post an

ODE TO WRINKLES

and the

CHARACTER

and

BEAUTY

 they bring to a

FACE.

I looked at hundreds of 

IMAGES

of aging

HUMANS.

My

ODE TO WRINKLES:

G.O.N.E.

Yes, they definitely add

CHARACTER.

They show a 

MAP

of a human face.

But, 

I don't find them

BEAUTIFUL.

* * * * * * * * * * * * 

It's always been said that

MALES

age more

GRACEFULLY

than 

FEMALES.

Really?

WRINKLES

in humans:

CHARACTER,

yes.

BEAUTY,

no.

END OF STORY.

Father Time is not always a hard parent and though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hands lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor. With such people the gray head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.
