not flaws. adornments. The word finally came to me. What I was trying to say yesterday. To me the imperfections are, in fact, adornments.
My skin is so sensitive that I can't really wear much jewelry and even make-up makes my face itch, so I have never been much interested in that stuff. I look for the adornments such as wrinkles or messy hair morning hair or scars and my eyes indulge in them.
There is a Keith Richards documentary that details his softer, more poetic side. His face is so intense and wrinkled, like the way water digs out a canyon. His face tells an amazing story. And when he smiles, you can see clearly that a lot of the wrinkles are from a place of child-like wonderment. It's a full-faced smile.
To me one of the privileges of love is the deep study and appreciation of the adornments that make us rare, not pretty but rare. What's pretty about the Earth are it's canyons, valley, craters, mountains, etc... It's dramatic features and unique spots. To me, people are the same.
