Faces

I have often marvelled at how in a world of vast oceans and towering mountains...so
much of the time...our human lives revolve around the reference points...of tiny
areas by comparison...that make up...the faces of us Earthlings. Was it of Helen of
Troy...someone once said..."Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?"...[not
to be taken literally]. This statement highlights the potency of a face. It is true
that different parts of the human anatomy...are deemed atractive in the human mating
game...but wide shoulders...or copious bosoms...accompanied by the face of an iguana...
or hyppopotamus...are not likely to promote human beings rushing like lemmings towards
each other...although...you never ultimately know. It is usually the faces of your
loved ones that come to mind...when your thoughts turn to them...although there may
be exceptions to this too...given our human complexity. Perhaps...this is why we tend
to see faces...where they are not supposed to be...like in today's picture...of a face
on the trunk of a tree.................Quester.
