Face Me

I have always been drawn to the eyes of a person’s face, their expressions, their essence. These captivate me and draw me in. We have become disconnected in so many ways, but all it takes is a moment, to look at another, to pause and study your counterpart, in wonder and awareness. Time will stand still. You will discover, wrinkles earned through years of enduring life’s winding path; scars marked by playful toils or tumultuous scoffs; skin roughened, evidence of an adventurous life well lived outdoors. Thoughtful expressions that beg for a witness to bear its tales untold of love embraced, suffocated, set free or lost, struggles, miracles, mysteries, and magic. Oh, the stories each of us could tell – with just a glance. Take that moment. Before it is lost. Become connected especially to those you would least likely consider. They are the ones that hold the stories that could make you pause and question your mindset, shake your reality, or enlighten and humble you to a more awakened sensibility.
