‘Which is more beautiful, a blonde, a brunette, or a redhead?’ asked the novice.
The wise hermit pondered.
‘It depends on the curve of the eyebrows, and the multitude of the eyelashes, and the tip of the nose, and the smoothness of the cheeks, and the pout of the lips.’

I write as a way of life: stories, blogs, articles, almost-poems. I'm a freelancer, a vegetarian, and I listen to Leonard Cohen and enjoy French films. We are dying a little more with each new day we live, so shouldn't we make the most of our time?

A well-thought answer to an age-old question.
Are you doing the artwork? I love it!
I can’t draw a straight line!
Click on the image.
But there are no straight lines!
How about what’s in her heart?
It’s quite difficult to see what’s in her heart.
The secret is to look deep in her eyes, the gateway to the soul…
Good answer! 🙂
I really like this post. Thanks for sharing 🙂
It sort of reminds me of joke, on a totally different matter, but I’ll share it: Bobby and his teacher look out the window. Bobby asks: Which of the three passing girls is married; the one licking her ice cream, the one biting it or the girl that sucks on hers? Teachers: Uhhm, the one sucking? Bobby: No, the one with the ring on her finger!
PS: really beautiful illustration. Where is it from? I also notice that the girl have beautiful teeth, I guess the sage didn’t have a dentist in the family to hear fun facts, like: white and straight and healthy teeth make a person look 15 years younger, without changing anything else about them… Just came to think of that, too. The sage did however give a great anwer, so I’ll just stop bothering you with my comments now 😛
Your comments do not bother, but tickle me. More!
PS: All my teeth are perfectly healthy. (I don’t eat sugary things.)
I would have said that the one biting…
Haha, no wonder that’s your answer if you stay away from sugary things!
The hermit is very wise to look further than a woman’s hair — especially as its colour might have come out of a packet.
Hermits are notorious for their wisdom.
You are truly a romantic, Mars. You said nothing about boobs. Congratulations on your self-control and modesty.
Bust size is overrated!
Your stories are truly beautiful. I wish I could comment with words as eloquent as you write.
But I like your comments much!
I totally agree with Anyes…good response!!!!!! 🙂
