TAKE A WORD - Faces

Thomas Browne said, "It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many millions of faces, there should be none alike."   Did you ever sit in a busy airport or shopping mall and wonder at the different faces.   How can it be they are never replicated?    Red, yellow, black, brown, white, old, young, smiling, solemn, yet each a unique individual.   One of my favorite quotes is by Anthony Rapp...."There is only one you for all time.  Fearlessly be yourself."
Credits:  The background for this piece is a Persian carpet, and the faces were found web-surfing.
