I want to tell you that you don't need to lose any weight to wear the dresses for the posh parties...you are beautiful just the way you are.

"If you had all the beauty you desired,
you could with boldness leave
the wood and make your way among mankind."

-Petrarch

I wonder if this is more a verse for you or I. I look above it and see:

"How often I would say
at that time, full of awe:
'She certainly was born up there in Heaven!'
And her divine behaviour,
her face and words and her sweet smile
so filled me with forgetfulness
and so divided me
from the true image
that would sigh and say:
'How and when did I come here?' --
thinking I was in Heaven, not where I was;
and since then I have loved
this bank of grass and find peace nowhere else."

I want to leave the wood and make my way among mankind.

In Heaven, passover approached and I knew where I stood as an angel.

Duty defines me.
