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 I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

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. Richy |

It only takes a glimpse. And we know. This is what we wait for...the look. It tells us everything. Eric, this is so true...the eyes tell the truth, whether it's us or someone else into who's eyes we are looking. Hugs  Ethel |
