The Thought: Our teenager posed a conversation yesterday on beauty. She skirted around issues that are obvious, like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and beauty is as beauty does. Terry and I enjoyed conversing with her and just watching her brain work as she begins to explore new thought paths. She explored the facade of beauty that the media presents. She climbed through the terror thoughts of what is beautiful to a mass murderer. (She did not like it, but we had to think about beauty through the eyes of evil as well.) We covered the birth of a baby yet how mothers react differently to the responsibility of caring for their babies once they are here. Ying and Yang hit with you can’t have beauty with out ugly. She and her dad covered benchmarks for establishing beauty.

Frustratingly at one point she stopped and said, “One could write endlessly on the subject of beauty.” We both grinned at her. She realized then if she was to write about beauty she had to chose her perspective. Every person has their own perception of beauty and that is established in their brain at an early age by what they are exposed to.
