Beauty, Truth and Goodness: how to create a smokey look for an Asian eye

Why "Beauty, Truth and Goodness?"

I believe that the whole point of pursuing aesthetic beauty is to fully engage in the joy that comes of living in the utterly unique form that we call the human body. Expressing one's self through the use of shapes, colors, lines and textures is one of the great pleasures of being alive. Whether we choose to express ourselves through the clothes that we wear or the words that we speak; whether we choose to express ourselves through the clothes that we do not wear or the words that we do not speak - as long as we are choosing consciously, we are creating a world mosaic made of the most delicious palettes imaginable: our very selves.

Our bodies are precious canvasses upon which we are meant to play, engage, and experience the vast potentials of who we are; who we have been; and who we will yet become. As spacious as the starry skies and as mysterious as the ocean currents through which whole ecosystems merge and separate in an incredible array of colors and life-forms: so, too are the depths of our spirit able to emerge as naturally as the flowing of the seasons.

When we are able to merge our personal expressions of beauty with the full potential of our humanity; when beauty aligns with what is true and emanates with the natural goodness that is our birthright, then heaven and earth will move to allow the brilliance of our star-dust lineage to shine forth as brightly as the stars twinkling joyfully in the night sky.
