A VIGNETTE OF A BEAUTIFUL SOUL ©️
Hidden behind facial expressions the telling journey of a human life is unmasked.
An experiential footprint of joy and sadness, hope and despair, love and hate. Pain and healing, fear and stoicism, loss and recovery. An inner archive of indelibly rich emotions. Every tear of triumph and failure is etched deeply in facial expressions.Emotions perfectly fused to harmonise with deepening facial lines and creases. An unread life-journal of a beautiful soul.
Soft folds of aged-loosening skin, gracefully harmonised with time, giving credence to a life lived. An experiential life-journey – often fraught with facets of competing emotions, challenges coupled with reservoirs of inner strength. An epitome of courage and hope rises against all the unfair odds. The deeper the contorting lines and creases, the more poignant the polarity of emotions on the spectrum of life. A nuanced look, a searching stare, a meditative posture, a deep sigh, unspoken mental narratives? They all give voice, penning the inner life journal. Noting an intrinsic record of the emotionally steep learning curves, of personal struggles and triumphs. An intrinsic worth of a beautiful soul.
Yet, the enduring mercies of God shines through age-old facial expressions. His mercies speaks of love, joy and forgiveness released through His faithful promises. His divine comfort and peace softens the deeply furrowed lines and scars. A forgiving heart removes the pains and hurts imprinted on life’s memory file. In the face of our Lord, His radiance lifts those contours of deep negative expressions. Lightening the intensity of inner focus to reveal the resolute character of the hidden being. An enigma of a beautiful soul.
