The Buddhist Who Wore Makeup

Cover the left side to see without makeup.
The Buddhist Who Wore Makeup 

I've always loved putting on my makeup. 
I don't think that will ever change.
In my early teens putting on makeup 
would "make me beautiful"
I've perfected my art over the years.
I can now transform my face in many ways.
Though the way I view makeup has changed.
I am at peace with the woman behind the mask.
I feel beautiful and strong without it, 
but I will always love picking up the brush.
and painting colors onto my face.
Every morning I look forward to the blank canvas.
A new opportunity to start my day out creatively. 
While I am making my art,
I am in this moment,
joyful and relaxed.
This is my awareness.
