“The less you reveal the more people can wonder.” Emma Watson

“Let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.” 1.Pet.3

Modesty is about so much more than dress but it is certainly reflected in it. Modesty is the ambiance of the whole person. Its presence can be the hint of a pleasant aroma; its absence, an overpowering odor. Modesty conceals yet subtly reveals. It causes those who pass by to pause and wonder if there is more here than meets the eye. Like a well done cover of an old book, it invites people to explore and discover the hidden treasures of one's inner life. Modesty is never flashy but none-the-less inviting--in a good sort of way. 10/9/11 Conversations Within ts (Brevard, NC)
