 “Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist--a master--and that is what Auguste Rodin was--can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is . . . and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be . . . and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land I feel we are the master, when we see others as God sees us. Our physical avatar maybe in a form of decay, yet our soul is bright, brilliant, and glowing with life force. Dear Mother Father Creator God, thank you. Thank you for this reminder, that even in our human avatar, we can see the beauty in one another, through your eyes. May we all see each other with, in and through love. In your many names. Amen. |
