To the Naked Eye

Posted by Networkchic at 8:30 AM

Now it's time to focus. Move those eyes from last week's position, to the windows of my soul. Can you tell who someone is by looking in their eyes? I think if you look hard enough, someone really can appear to be naked. You can look past the facade and see what their hiding. My grandpa always told me that if someone couldn't look you in the eyes when they talked to you, they were hiding some part of themselves they didn't want you to see. I wonder why that is...that you can tell who a person is by looking straight into their eyes. I'm not saying you can know everything about them, but you can know whether or not they are worth your effort or time. I think about all the people I've wasted my time on in my thirty some years of living...there are a lot of them. I'm trying to remember now - did I look in their eyes. Surely I didn't, or maybe I didn't look hard or long enough. Maybe I looked only deep enough to see my own reflection and it scared me, so I looked away. Maybe I didn't look at them, so they didn't look at me - maybe I was the one with something to hide.

    I suppose you are right. It's damn scary.

    Ah thanks. I got them from my dad...so I can't take the credit. It's one of those Black Irish traits I'm thankful to have.

    I'm thankful you have them too. I was thinking I might post an eye shot next week too (I'm told they're my best feature, which may or may not be a compliment!) but I remembered that Cat's choosing for me.

    Kind eyes...they can make you feel warmth on the coldest of day.

    And WDKY, I'd love to see those eyes of yours.

    I'm sure most of us have been both- the person hiding and the person they're hiding from.

    I'd post a pic of my eyes but the only pic I can find online of me has me squinting in the sun.

    Although I think that could be appropriate for a blog.

    Hi Network, I like the way you write. Apparently, if someone is telling a lie not only do they tend not to meet your eyes, they also tend to look to the right.

    No idea where I heard that. Possibly on CSI, in which case disregard it!

    Eyes are incredibly important. I always know if someone in my life is truly important to me because their eyes will be etched in my memory.

    Hey thanks, you are right. To this day I can still remember the eyes of most of the people I ever loved.

    Nice eyes. You can tell that you're very pretty! Very brave to do a bit of revealing! I'm a wuss!

    It's all about the eyes for me. The best way to meet new people is look them in the eyes and smile. I do believe it's a window to the soul... but I also believe some people are capable of shuttering the windows at times. Love the post. Damn, you're such a talented writer.
