So what is the essence of beauty? What does beauty mean to you? What did beauty mean to you 5 years ago? 10 years ago? 20 years ago? What is beauty at this very moment in relation to your mood, state-of-mind?
Do you feel beautiful? Are you truly B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L?
This man is beautifully different in many ways…I don’t know him personally, but I bet he is very fun to be around. I would also wager he attracts people, naturally, without trying. They just gravitate towards his beauty…his essence!
No matter what we do to ourselves…it seems we never see beauty in the mirror. We see a variety of things…not enough muscle here, jaw line is askew and assymetrical…hair is too thin in that spot…hair is too wavy…pimples are on face…We so often, only see the negative in our faces…our identities as human beings!
We see beauty in magazines, television, movies and in other people…yet the person in the mirror…never cuts you a break! Slap! Smack! that’s what it feels like sometimes!
Is she beautiful?
I personally feel, that true beauty comes from within…comes from the facial lines that etch your lives work…your personality map…visible only to other truly beautiful people, that understand what beauty really is. This makes the person beautifully empathetic, weak, strong, over-bearing, stern, angry, lovely, caring…
His appearance is akin to how a perfectly aged wine tastes, smells, intoxicates…He IS perfectly aged and is beautiful…his personality map says so!
One of the most beautiful people I ever met, was a man I cared for as a registered nurse. He was in his 80s and had moderate staged Alzheimer’s Disease. He had gangrenous wounds on both feet that I had to treat and change dressings, etc. every night I worked(I worked 40+ hours as night shift charge nurse per week). His treatments would take up to an hour sometimes, when done right and I am very “by the books” as a registered nurse.
Head of an Old Man by ~alexei-biryukoff~
We formed an unpleasant, foul relationship at first. We will call the man “Dale”. I didn’t blame Dale at all, his Alzheimer’s affected certain “social-norms” that we as humans share when our brains are “healthy”. He of course, would become very upset when I would cleanse his feet and do the treatments and dressing changes. I didn’t blame him…I knew he was a kind and beautiful man. I had spoken with his family and all of them over-flowed with puddles of love, when visiting Dale and speaking about Dale.
I knew, if I were to deliver effective medical treatment to his feet, Dale would have to trust me and I had to earn that trust…so that’s what I did…I worked very hard and you know what? He and I ended up becoming wonderful friends with a 55 year age difference.
Even with Alzheimer’s Disease affecting his cognitive functioning, he taught me about humility, empathy, love for one’s family and hard work. He was a WWII veteran and I too am a veteran, we really bonded over that fact. He shared bloody, gory war stories with me, tears in his eyes, but remembering every detail…despite the Alzheimer’s.
Young and old vet together…sharing a bond of brotherhood.
He never told his family any of those stories! That was the biggest lottery…biggest gift he could have given me! He passed…not well…it was a drawn out and painful passing.
Abstract view of humans bonding…romantic or not, it does not matter.
He was beautiful and we were beautiful together…as fellow veterans, fellow family men and…as…fellow human beings. It was beautiful and is one of the things in my psyche that makes Me beautiful!
Embrace who you are! You are beautiful if you look in the mirror and see past the exterior…see deep inside you…see your failures, successes, wrong-doings, good choices, positive personality traits…See your broken relationships…see your loving relationships…
If you are comfortable with all of this…if you are at peace with yourself…then you my friend…are TRULY BEAUTIFUL!

Marijuana: A Very Simple List of Approved Medical Uses.
Marijuana, or cannabis, as it is more appropriately called, has been part of humanity’s medicine chest for almost as long as history has been recorded.
Of all the negative consequences of marijuana prohibition, none is as tragic as the denial of medicinal cannabis to the tens of thousands of patients who could benefit from its therapeutic use.
Modern research suggests that cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. These include pain relief — particularly of neuropathic pain (pain from nerve damage) — nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders. Marijuana is also a powerful appetite stimulant, specifically for patients suffering from HIV, the AIDS wasting syndrome, or dementia. Emerging research suggests that marijuana’s medicinal properties may protect the body against some types of malignant tumors and are neuroprotective.
