O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
An' ev'n devotion!
Robbie Burns was inspired to write his poem after watching a louse climb through the hair and bonnet of the lovely young woman in the pew in front of him.
I have just watched myself on DVD, teaching a lesson on reflective journal writing for a group of teenagers.
There is much to be pleased with and proud of--this is an earnest and dynamic woman...but the picture I had of myself before looking through the lens of a camera did not include multiple chins or sausage fingers...
Does this woman look like she lives with respect in creation? To seek justice and resist evil? Or does her appearance proclaim her a full participant in the affluenza epidemic?
Thank you
