...is beauty in the eyes of the beholder. yet ironically enough, the greatest of beauty's virtues is the acceptance of flaws that as yet persist on an endless road towards flawlessness...knowing it will never reach its goal but finding the journey worthy of travail nonetheless. it seeks to become all that it truly is at heart...whose image would ultimately be reflected in the mirror of truth. it's how i choose to live...so it is how i also, choose to love. the superficial will see a woman of quality's stretch marks, cellulite or surgical scarring as an imperfection...i see what they represent. they tell the story of how she "became". what she came through and why my inner pangs go justified at depth. to want to give her at the very least a piece of me she will never receive elsewhere. not for ego, not to claim ground but because i see in her something my father said should always be loved right..."a good woman". i want all she is because she is a work of art created by God Himself. like a sculpture carved out of stone...brought through fire and rain to live and love again. with every iteration adding a forged explosive passion just waiting to erupt. granted as a gift to those that overcome but only accessible to those that "see it"...because to see it, is to appreciate it and to appreciate it...is to aid in its release. to want to protect it...to want to love it without possession. holding care never to snuff out it's ability to grow beyond itself or even oneself...even when it hurts like mad to do so. all true...but i want truer still...
my beautiful people, these are not just words to me...i live this out to the best of my ability and i share this with you not to tell you how great i am but to proclaim that even in this, as far along as i believe myself to be...i still have a long way to go. keep to this at heart...that intention is truth. i can go through the motions and do everything right but my "why" will always reveal itself in time and sometimes that "why" is not what you assumed the action taken represented. to be "real" is not to simply take ownership of your actions...but it is the ability to acknowledge your truest intent and adjust accordingly. all i write on this blog is the realest i can be but it is never the end of all i will become. i am everything i say i am but by no means does this mean i am "done" becoming more. not as an obsession...but as simply a way of life. maybe there are tweaks to what you've grown to believe you need to make. to better your road and become even clearer on your perspective. never abandoning the tried and true but knowing that SOME things can be explored deeper to expand upon or even...to let go of. to re-examine your road using new lenses added by experience to finally see the piece of glass you never knew you missed. to understand what is it about this one or that one that really drew you in. as a silly example, i recently found out that i became enamored by someone years ago when she simply showed an audacity of interest by recording herself singing "happy birthday" to me. she trusted that i would not judge the singing but hoped i would pick up on the intent...i did. she also sang it well btw...just sayin. now i had many reasons to be enamored but after introspection...i found this little nugget of truth inside. why is that important? that intent produced a birthing of something. a "something" i easily loss sight of over time. a "something" that needed a reference point for context. context that connected dots i didn't even know needed connecting.
so my word to you is this: examine yourselves...truly. are you who you really want to be? are you trying to get there? you can always be better than you are and some of you are still fighting the need to become more because you value your comfort over your own growth. now you know how folks say "follow the money"? follow your intent...shake that tree. stay blessed my beautiful people. i'm out...
no matter what you've been taught, always remember this: words pierce the soul and can speak to the spirit. actions can appease the mind and the heart but intention remains the root of all that's said and done.
