Wouldn't our eyes rejoice at a tree coming out of the flat ground, at a mountain unfolding in space?
Similarly, wrinkles contain a richness of form and content. Wrinkles conceal a life-story, while tight smooth skin is like a blank page. Wrinkles form the expression of a person and reflect his personality. There are wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, at the corners of his eyes, between his brows and along his cheeks. Some are thin and delicate; others are deep and stern. All are formed by and reflect his character. Youth is merely the product of genes, a set of circumstances over which the individual has no control. Wrinkles however are of a man's own doing. They may be a product of his anger and frustration, or conversely made by a constant and loving smile. I love wrinkles that fold beautifully, and the lined faces of the aged which show softness, pleasantness, and warmth of character.
