It’s all about face
An image so sacred
A portrait of one
Where there are no takers
To others on earth
Even identical twins are different
In physical looks
A person is one and only
No two persons resemble another
How so unique
How so sublime
The wonder of nature
Providence has a hand
But let nature take its course
The individual
Is unto himself
It’s his domain
It’s him to savor
It’s him to take cognizance
A look in the mirror
The portrait of a mother’s pride
No one to dispute! There is much wisdom in your words, Hank.
ReplyDeletei have a book...its a photo essay of a million faces from around the world...it is very cool to flip through and look at all the uniqueness...very cool hank
