have you ever noticed how much light can affect our eyes and senses? there is a tree at the bottom of Owasso Hills Drive that is absolutely beautiful in day light. It's trunk curves sensuosly and carries its branches gracefully, like a ballerina holds her arms. At night, however, it takes on a monstrous form. The trunk seems to be hideously twisted, and branches become terrible fingers reaching out to grab the next passerby.
People transform in moonlight. Moonlight hides the shadows that haunt people's faces and softens the contrast of uneven skin. People become beautiful again.

Is beauty, then, merely the way light falls on a person's face?
