This is what we wait
for.

It comes from a look...a telling
sense that speaks of other
worlds.

Our every breath invites this
mystery in.

Yet we may expect no reply.

To seek meaning is to lose the grasp
of our insanity...and we may hold
nothing outside of our selves.

So we descend in layers of
our identities...showing more
in the less of who we are.

There is no bottom behind
the eyes -

There is only the untold depth
of our being.

It only takes a glimpse.

And we know.

This is what we wait for...the look.

It tells us everything.

(sigh) And sadly ever so much so many jump the gun or can't read the true message in ones eyes with the lack of empathy or so, and that only leaves us more heartbroken than before! (big hugggssssss) When you can see the tears of joy from ones eye, or the smile that lasts for more than ten seconds, then you know something special has awakened, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Wow, this is so good!

I never really thought about it that way.
The occasional glance in the mirror,
is more than just checking your hair, or for
the occasional eye booger...(?)

It’s also a moment to check in with someone, who
at least should be, very important to us.
The face, more than any other body part
really does say it all.

How many times have we looked
in the mirror and said, “Oh Grief,
I look worse then  I feel.”

And other times, had a more peaceful
look, that made you feel more easy,
and self assured.

Wow, a world without mirrors...

Yikes!!

Can you imagine all the women in the
morning, running down to the lake to
do their makeup!

lol

Not that any of you need it of course.


This was really good Eric!

I’m glad I read it.

Dear Eric, you have explored the depth behind the eyes and you know of those other worlds …. and you share your vision in such a terrific way, that I am in awe.

the look …. A telling sense …

Yes!
Love, Margherita

Eric, this is so true...the eyes tell the truth,
whether it's us or someone else into
who's eyes we are looking.
