Thoughts from a friend's blog
Why is it possible to learn more in ten minutes about the Crab Nebula in Taurus, which is 6,000 light years away, than you presently know about yourself, even though you've been stuck with yourself all your life?
[I'm much more complicated:-) also known as 'High Maintenance' according to at least one of my friends to my face and undoubtably many behind my back:-)]
Why is it that the look of another person looking at you is different from everything else in the Cosmos? That is to say, looking at lions or tigers or Saturn or the Ring Nebula or at an owl or at another person from the side is one thing, but finding yourself looking into the eys of another person looking at you is something else. Ane why is it that one can look at a lion or a planet or an owl or at someone's finger as long as one pleases, but looking into the eyes of another person is, if prolonged past a second, a perilous affair?
[Well, I guess if I ever feel like living dangerously I'll start gazing undistractedly into people's eyes:-D But seriously, a person's soul, their heart, their very depth of being is in their eyes. To look prolongedly into a person's eyes is one of the most intimate acts you can do. There's a reason why lovers gaze constantly into each other's eyes. They are merging themselves with each other, brushing their hearts and souls next to each other. Holding a gaze with someone is as intimate as caressing them. ]
