I read this quote on a steeping tea bag this morning and I cannot get it out of my head for it's simple truth.
"As we grow old, the beauty steals inward."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have forgotten much of my Emerson but this to me is like line of music. It is one of those things I wish I had written.
It is a beautiful thought. Not necessarily true of you though! Beautiful in and out!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Too sweet, what was that... gray-headedness is a crown of beauty. Seriously, 'the secret person of the heart.' It took some meditation to come round to why Emerson touched me as much as it did. Wouldn't you know it all comes back to scripture. Even if the beauty without remains undiminished in wisdom the beauty within overshadows it. From reading your most recent post, you are are exemplifying that quite well. Then again, it doesn't hurt to have killer shoes to go with all that introspection.
