beauty

A few years ago, i was reading one of my favorite magazines,Vanity Fair. An article caught my attention, an interview with the actress Jessica Lange. She was asked at her advancing age, what did she consider most for herself, and she said to be beautiful. At the time it sounded vain. Why would she want that? As I get older, I understand her answer better, for it is not just surface that her reply implies to me. As the years tick by, facing challenges with grace and beauty is a very real thing.
