DAY 124
Charm Is Deceptive, Beauty Is Fleeting

📜 THE VERSE
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but depth of character is long praised.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Between what shows outside and what gathers within, where do I spend more time?
📝Reflection
The surface must wither before time. However lovely, it is brief — even a flower cannot stay red ten days. This verse plainly admits that fleetingness and turns its eyes to what lasts. The grain built within, character and depth, only shines more as the years pass. When young I spent all my time tending the outside, but with age I know the one who filled the inside is beautiful. Spending time on what does not wither is, in the end, the trade that pays.

Give part of the time you spend on appearance today to one thing that fills the inside — a page, a line of reflection.
