Beyond The Window

Staring out the window I was pulled into another world one in which I thought I was never allowed to visit- the window of your soul.

Eyes can be mysterious. Like a mirror reflecting what we want to see or a pool deep and foreboding. They are said to be a path to the soul in which we gain connection. This can have both positive and negative connotations.
The “ evil eye” is a term used to describe when we humans are jealous and envious longing for what others have. Often we look searching in the eyes to read and find out information and to see if people are telling the truth. Eyes are the windows which allow and promote intimacy. This starts the minute we are born and exists often until our last breath.

For a year now we have looked at faces seeing only eyes due to mask wearing and the Pandemic.
I have to admit I’ve been swimming in a sea of dark and mysterious eyes. At other times I find myself avoiding both the male and female gaze and cast my eyes down. I’m a feeler and lately the eyes are intense . I notice the dilated pupils, the red eyes , the intensity of frustration and pain. It can be daunting and overwhelming.

I say to myself it is normal reaction and all of our brain’s have adjusted to masking, mine has just focused and narrowed in to the gateway to the soul. After all I’m a writer and I’ve spent my entire life thinking about life-existential problems and questions. In reality I’ve been preparing for a pandemic my entire life.
The truth lies sometimes in disbelief.
I am brutally aware of humanity and our misgivings. This pandemic has opened my eyes however, to the fragility of the human spirit and the human race.  I have peered in and there is no turning back. The eye has become a portal to truth and transmutation of information. Like a car on a freeway I’m travelling fast , we all are. All you have to do is open your eyes. There is no turning back. Life and love are still here burning bright.

Open your eyes to the window of humanity . The seat of the collective human soul.

This is a bumpy ride .

Hold fast and open wide- it’s all in the eyes!
