I saw a picture today of Farrah Fawcett from her high school yearbook...before the designer hairdos and the big career. I see a beauty in her there that for me eclipses what she later became. It's a much more natural beauty, not yet calculated by some money-making industry. It made me feel sad for how the innocence of youth gets lost in people...not that I know if this is accurate in regards to Farrah Fawcett herself or not...it just struck me as a kind of timeless archetype that could well apply to any of us.

I'm not myself deeply moved by the passing of either MJ or Farrah, but I do wish them both well.
