Scars

Scars

Standing looking at this tree it was beautiful to me. All the colors, textures, markings, and the patterns all came together, creating one stunning image.

It captured my attention. Then I noted the scars flaws and imperfections. The world defines beauty in many ways, I ask that you consider that the sum of your flaws is you and you are beautiful. If we all were the same then beauty would have NO meaning.

I find differences and individuality beautiful. Ask Cindy Crawford about her facial flaw or Joaquin Phoenix about his scar. Then ask how much money they have made and how distinct both faces are in our world.

I hope you enjoy this photo and the message, respect beauty and flaws. Perfection isnt beautiful diversity is.

Papa Roach had some amazing words of Zen Wisdom about scars:
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
