Reflection

All that matters is what's inside

Wise words, JusTim.  Thank you.

Crow, this evokes memories of my  dishwashing days at a country club. The waitresses were these super efficient middle aged, Alice type women who weren't attractive in a mass media sense but they were beautiful to me. Their beauty shown through their kind, nurturing ways. As I age I realize that beauty doesn't fade it evolves into something much deeper and sustaining than mere sex-appeal.
To me this piece revives some of the noirness of your work. Thank you for inspiring me to remember wonderful people from my past. To quote a James Taylor song "There are ladies in my life, lovely ladies in these lazy days...may I say that I have loved me one or two" I find it funny that he wrote such songs when he was barely 20 years old.

Thank you for that long and thoughtful comment, Gahdess.  Maturity carries its own beauty.

Too long? 😋 Kinda funny for a dude that writes so many haikus 😄

Not too long at all.  I feel flattered.

Pheeeeew! I am flattered by your comment.

Beauty, is soul deep; you could be the prettiest person in the room but if you’re a forked tongue hater with an ugly soul, you’ll always be fugly !

A beautiful write, crow... 🔥🔥🔥

Well said, Shadow.  I'll have to introduce fugly to my vocabulary.  Thank you!

Age is an accomplishment

I can speak from experience.  Having made it this far, with so many foul ups, tells me I must be doing something right.

When you age, true beauty shines from within. Good write dear Crowfly.

Very true.  Thank you Grace.

Abundant tips are cool but they don't last either sad 😔 face

Depends on the size of the tip.  This darling earned some generous ones.  Thank you!

Yay her

With age comes wisdom. Using said wisdom to continue to better oneself is true beauty. Great write, crowfly!

The wisdom of beauty far exceeds the physical.  Thank you Eerie!

We always hope our mirror outside is an equivalent reflection of our inside. Sometimes we might need to put make up on our insides and hope people see that instead.

Fascinating perspective, drunkenplaywords.  Thank you.

I love when you write the intimate moments of women.

I'm glad my imagination is doing its job.  Thank you Jennifer.

It's great when ageing brings wisdom and inner beauty rather than pretending to be still young and acting like one has learned nothing  :))

That only leaves us with an aging clown.  Thank you Josh.

What matters is who we are and who we choose to be...
Age is beauty


Great ink

Far more important than our looks.  Thank you, kind sir.

Hey Crow.......this is touching.......wonder how many luving souls we didn’t see cause we never knew what was within.......the truth of a soul is in their heart......thought provoking ink my friend......purple luv & hugs xo :)

"The truth of the soul is in their heart."  Very wise words, dear flower.

Wow ... such perennial truth here ... a woman's existential terror ...  

I suppose this is deeper work than the frivolities I all too often come up with.  Thank you LilDragonFly.
