Beauty shines from within. Inside. Body is the shell that holds the beauty. In many instances, a handsome man can be ugly inside. Some are handsome inside and out. It's the quality of heart. It's the bloom of the soul. It's the purity of giving and the softness of being gentle. Beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder. Always.

I totally agree with Louis I call Stuby beautiful all the time. I'm rugged and rough, but I know I am a good man. But I am not a beatuful man. Stuby is, his face glows, and it comes from inside.

Body is the sum total of a person - each of us is a 'body of work'. Body encompasses not only our corporeal selfhood but the spirit and soul. Beauty shines through, finds its expression, no matter the physical characteristics of a person. So does beauty's opposite.

"Beauty is a moment: in which you see someone for who they really are."
