I’ll start with one from long ago.  This fellow (whoever he is) was about 40 when he was captured on film.  I like him.

I’m pretty sure the hair was golden brown.

Let’s zoom to the present day.  I think it’s the same guy.  Clearly an athlete … or maybe just someone who likes sweating.  And the pink is pretty cool.

Both photos show a “centered” person – balanced, in tune with the rhythms of life, feeling light.

But then something happened …

What’s with the beady eyes?  The mouth?  The raucous tilt of the head?  This man appears to be a wayward soul, taken away from the vertical, a mite abnormal.  I can see him swimming in the air … upside down.

I’d love to have coffee with these three men – all at the same time.  I bet the conversation  would be “unusual”.  All of our eyes would be wide open.  And the wonders of life would be revealed.

There is a fourth face.

The passport version.  Molded by society.  Sadly acceptable to government authorities.

I don’t really want to hang out with him.  Looks pretty boring.  Probably only talks about his investments, and sports scores.  Maybe even tries to get me to vote for his political party.

Still …

Three out of four ain’t bad
