The eyes say it all
I see you, I've been there, I am there or indeed - in the past we knew each other
Emotions, glimmering pupils in the sunlight, creases and beautifully smiling wrinkles around the eyes
The body doesn't exist and yet it does
The eyes set the tone, manner, stride and posture
Silently directing this natural and natureous vehicle we call the human body
As if to say - from the eyes, a whole universe sprouts or springs forth
Just like moments before the Big Bang - and then "poof" all manner of motion extends
Like tentacles of mycelium growing everywhere without direction and yet to become form and structure
The eyes of the heart, intentional like a deep well into the belly
where real emotions bubble, gurgle and hide
The softness and kindness of acceptance bring it all forward in essence and resonance
Such eyes, are the eyes of a soul mate or heart mate showing the world in silent wonder
An old kind of intimacy and connection which has little time in our day and age
To linger, connect, grow and deepen with admiration and appreciation
While the emotions and motion of the body are wonderful
It's the eyes of the soul in the driver's seat - gently and sometimes fiercely advertising
"Love is here" - "Its not for sale" - "It's freely given" - "If you see it, you have it"
Such friends are blessings on the Earth and within humanity
Such friends remind me who I am when my eyesight is not so sharp
Such friends allow me to have this earth-human experience of feeling such joy without expression
Such friends are a treasure to be loved and nourished and called out
- I love you.
I love you Anette. Thank you for being in my world and in this one.
Happy Birthday.
