When did we start putting value on "you look beautiful" over "you are kind", "you are inspiring", "you are centered" or "you are courageous" ?
Every human knows how it feels good to be recognized for our appearance and there's no depth to it.
Words that reflect our person-hood peels off the mask and cut straight through the physical to the essence of the being.
It's in my experience that this is how we can express magnitudes of appreciation and affection for someone. Beyond this is creating a safe space for one another.
I know many women can feel into this.
Wouldn't it create a kinder, authentic world if on the first encounter, on a first date, we could choose words that show the depths of our inner world without judging ourselves?

If we have the eyes to see, we have the mouth to speak.
If we have the heart to feel, we have the ears to listen.
But we can do so only if we are willing to see ourselves beyond the images our parents and society created for us.
Beyond the body deep deep into the stars of the ocean.
