Not One Thing Is Ugly
In Everyone's Eyes

My friend John is an aspiring clown. He carries around six tattered juggling balls all day and trys to teach anyone he encounters his favorite pastime. He has wonderful hair; it's rather fluffy and sticks straight out in all directions (it's part of his clown love). He comes to school every day with a new story for me about riding his unicycle and entertaining children around his apartment. He has a lot of character, more than most. I love John.
The other day in class, while he was juggling, I looked in my hand mirror and jokingly said, "Gosh I'm gorgeous!" He continued to juggle and let out a little snicker. I caught one of the flying balls and threatened to hit him in the gut with it until he told me I was beautiful. He refused.
He juggled with the remaining balls until the end of class when I threw the ball with all my might at his midsection. It hit him and he let out a small grunt. Right before he walked out the door he said, "Trinitie, you are beautiful...in someone's eyes."
Despite the initial hurt that rose up, I fell in love with that statement. Everything in the world is beautiful in someone's eyes, even if it's only Satan's. I like the idea that nothing, not one thing is completely ugly.
