Does it matter about size? JOKE! There is scientific fact here. Sharon Stone has one of Hollywoods most symmetrical faces. Then even in home decor, balance and symmetry is used to create focus and beauty. That which draws us in may be mathematically correct! Then I think Meryl Streep is beautiful. But you know me, I'm off kilter anyways.

Sincerely,
Regina

Denise -- that is what I am discovering!  Thank you for the read and consideration.

Regina, the only size I have found to truly matter is that of the heart and that of the open mind.  (What's a "kilter", anyway?) ;->

Faterider...  there can be a few interpretations, no doubt, but I was thinking that although both aspects (balance and symmetry) can be components of beauty, "real beauty" lies between the two extremes of "superficial symmetry" such as a modelesque face, and the wide-open concept/virtue of balance, for beauty is like a pendulum whose hand sweeps to both sides, nevertheless passing through the "perfect middle point" with each swing, and it is there that beauty lies...
