What is Beauty?

Today three black women
passed my way.
One was short and wide;
one was tall and broad;
one was medium and narrow.

Normally I am wired to believe
only one of these to possess beauty.
However as they passed,
all three had an air of beauty.
The thing is they were
all similarly well dressed.

Normally (or so often) a women
of wide proportion dresses down:
in accordance with her low self-image –
because of being fat. In response,
there is a movement of people
who follow ‘big is beautiful’;
there is a movement of people
who follow ‘the biggest loser’.

What is this opposition
between acceptance and change?
It is that some people
who are naturally not so wide
are wide because food is their comfort
to avoid difficulties,
or to help them through difficulties.
These people will be wide,
have low self-image,
and dress accordingly.

Other people are naturally wide,
have an image, and dress accordingly.
However most people are lost in the confusion!!
The answer is a journey through

acceptance and change.
