| Beautifully written. Stopped many times to reread passages. As an example: “We seem to be programmed to seek answers. Something happens and we need to know why. We chase around inside our heads, trying on this theory, and that theory, searching for o ...more | |

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
