One of my teachers and mentors uses the expression, “giving me eyes “, as a way to indicate a willingness to have eye contact. Now that most of our facemasks are off, we may be noticing the avoidance of eye contact, residual from our 2 years masked. It is as if our eyes are tired of having them as the only way in which we could express ourselves.
My cats insist on eye contact. When my eyes are on my screen, one or all three of them may jump up on me to make sure that I stop and look at them. In the night Padma kitty snuggled close to me, then purred, looking up at me. Giving me his most loving eyes.
To whom do you give your eyes? How are these beautiful faces looking to you without masks? Ki to Happiness gives her eyes to God-is with her morning yoga practice.
