My newest adventure is underway. It has lead me to take up residency in a new blog,
Like the Feathers of an Arrow (affectionately known as LFA).

0 looking vs. being

i couldn't help but think about it again last night.  and i think i gained a bit of perspective.  saying "you look beautiful" is about the moment or the current state of things.  it's not so much about you as about the appearance at a given time.  as for "you are beautiful," that goes beyond time.  it doesn't matter the time, the place, the outfit, the make-up...no matter where or when it is you.  it is a state of being.  the way someone sees you not in the moment, but in every moment. 

i don't know if i explained that well and i'm sure this won't be the last time i think about it.
