My sight is very, very good, according to my eye doctor. I am very grateful to be able to get by with just a little help from my glasses that I purchased 2 years ago! ...grateful that I can see and absorb the beauty of nature and all of God's creation. Sometimes, I see too much. But in life on this earth, you get the bad with the good, the ugly with the pretty, the disturbing with the wonderful. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. It has also been said about me that I can look right into you. This bit came from a teenaged friend who, unfortunately, feels intimidated by me because of my supposedly penetrating gaze. I like eye contact, but I certainly don't stare because my sister stares and that gives me the creeps. I don't want to creep anybody out. I have, on occasion, really, really looked into certain people's eyes; searching for something. Truth. Just quietly LOOKING into those eyes, waiting, asking with my own eyes and without my voice, "What is IN you? Where ARE you? Tell me the TRUTH. Where is your heart?" I can feel my eyes trying to pull something out of the other person. Gently, but definately. Why? Why do I have eyes like this? At night when it's time to go to sleep it feels so good to close the windows to my soul and to feel the magnets that seem to be attached to them release and rest. And then I give my thoughts to my ultimate eye doctor. God holds me through and through.

I like eye contact too..but know some people are really uncomfortable with it. Sometimes I've found if I don't look certain people in the eye, they are more apt to talk about deep things. It's odd but whatever gets them going is fine with me. Have a restful sleep. I responded to your comment, which, by the way, thanks.
@jans_corner - And thank YOU! ( ; It's funny when you don't look them in the eye they're more apt to talk about deep things...ya know, I have actually had some of the best talks with my younger son in the car. Hmmm. So, maybe I should start wearing sunglasses more often! ( :
I like to be able to look at people...there is so much said by the face and especially the eyes when someone talks! Glad you had a good check up!
@ABAHM - Absolutely! And thank you, Jenny! I hope your day is going well. Hugs!
I love this post!! You are so excellent with words - you would be a terrific author - seriously. If you would be here and could read my eyes, you would see love for a new sister-friend! (I'm so thankful God gave us sleep so you can rest those "windows to your soul." )
