epigraph

Human bodies are the greatest evidence, the living epigraph, of its own lives. Every wrinkle, every wound, every scratch, every smile, every tear, every spark in their eyes, every spirit in theirs voice, every this and that are the real prove, the true identity, the real each of you. Do we realize that our own body is telling stories about our past?

Look beyond the wrinkles in our grandmother’s face. Or scar in our father’s leg. Look beyond tears in our mother’s eyes. Or look beyond sparks in our beloved one when he talked about his life.

Try to look beyond the surface and see what’s inside, because maybe what’s hidden is the real person. Don’t let the appearance lie to you. Look closer. Hear each story from very evidence of life.

Because our body is the greatest epigraph of our own life.

hmm interesting question. one day i went to the village and met one old lady with wrinkles in her face and body who have one great mind and living her day full in integrity to do what's right in her heart and have spirit bigger than all of us, young person, combine together..

going to write about her someday.. afraid to lessen her greatness tho, that's why i haven't started the writing yet.
