The commercial says, “Removes ugly wrinkles”. The lotion states, “To eliminate aging marks”, and plastic surgery shows, “By pulling one's face back and trimming the skin, those lines are taken out.” And so goes the saga of trying to find and drink from the fountain of youth to avoid wrinkles that come naturally both in life and in circumstances.
Wrinkles upon the body reflect the temporal state of the physical, and although some today try to avoid the aging process, their faces often end up looking like a tiny mask that has been stretched over a basketball. Some even look like they should be in the circus. Many of these have a difficult time moving their lips because they are stretched so tightly. So much for avoiding those wrinkles.
Wrinkles also show up in circumstances. Just when the path or choice should be straight, another bump in the road shows up. A little alteration here, a little finagling there, some ironing here and pressing there, and that wrinkle is smoothed out only to find that another one lie in the path ahead. From wrinkle to wrinkle, alteration to alteration, challenge to challenge, life is often moving from one crinkle or crease to another.
Take a look in the mirror. Are there wrinkles there? Take a look at life, are the crinkles ahead? If so, breathe, and realize that the process of aging is as natural as it can be, and those who learn to adjust to it have the nicest countenances of them all. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
