I love this line: “She has flowered from girlhood to emerge vivid, polychromatic, saturated with a lust for life. Whatever is strange, peculiar, even ‘ugly’ about her, she makes the bedrock of her beauty and the source of her fascination.” Sign me up for orchid woman summer!

"Charisma is contradiction. The most compelling people hold several opposite qualities at once: on the surface, they appear to be one way, but in the murky waters below, something struggles, fights, and erupts, working to loosen the sediment of personality. The surface is beautiful, no doubt, but it is what glimmers underneath that urges one to lean forward for a closer look and—with nary a splash—slip in."

Perfectly said Ramya! 👏
