Look in My Eyes

Look in My Eyes

Look in My Eyes

Marching his way towards me confidently and eyeing me with strong eyes as if telling me look in my eyes. Disturbed by the sudden order and I looked him in the eyes and found myself lost in the darkness of the unknown. I was truly stranded and my eyes froze in their place. What is that I am seeing?

I dared and looked at him in the eye. But is that real eye? Yes, it has white stuff around it to reflect light. I was perplexed by the color of his eye when he shouted at me: if you don't have eyes to see, then you have ears to listen. Look me in the eyes I said. I felt as if my ears got infected and felt my head rotating very fast. How could I look him in the eyes with me feeling dizzy? One minute later I felt better and pooled my courage and looked him again in the eyes. He started laughing at me saying you have eyes to see, but you don't have observing eyes. Can't you tell real eyes from mimicry-eyes? You see my eyes make me look bigger than really I am and you look smaller than you are with your shrinking eyes. You know ignorance makes you puzzled and out of focus. How could you look me in the eyes?

My eyes went to an expedition journey to observe this time that I was seeing randomly patterned eye spots and goodness me- do I see eight real eyes? Which eye to look at them? My confusion started to build up and I found myself lost in a desert with no compass to show me which direction to take. I felt my throat dry and I had no water to sip. Feeling so exhausted I fell to the ground and started crawling my way away.

Look in My Eyes

I heard him laughing as I crawled. Laughingly indeed he said to me when you are in your eggshell of fear. The first I had was my eggshell. Eat your fear eggshell if you want to metamorphose into a brave man. It is fear that paralyzes you. Why can't you paralyze fear instead? At the moment I collected my drops of courage and bravely looked at him in the eyes. I wish I didn't for my fear compounded. I saw twelve real tiny eyes- I would call them eyelets. I could hardly see them because it was getting dark. He looked at me and read my new source of fear- darkness is on the door footsteps. Now tell me how you would find your way. I have the eyes of differentiating light from dark. May be the light coming from your knowledge of me would help you, but your knowledge is meager. I shook my head not knowing what to do. You see you move your head, you nod, but for no purpose. When I move my head I judge the depth around me and the distances I need to make. I can tell that you have no depth. You are shallow. You think you know, but what you know is very little. You know little knowledge is worse than ignorance.

It was getting dark. He started making silk and building it into a home. I felt helpless. We throw rumors from our mouths and when we are in trouble we find they have no use.

This time I looked myself in my eyes and found my reality. At that time he left me and I was alone. I needed the darkness to remind me that the real light is by knowing how little I know.

I dedicate this buzz to Kevin Pashuk. You know the HE I was talking to. You challenged me and I responded my dear friend. I leave it to the readers to guess who he is.

You remind me of my childhood in which going to movies was the main entertainment. Our joy doubled with some cinemas offering two movies for one ticket. You offered me three movies with one ticket CityVP Manjit.

Two for the price of one, I get to look at storytelling and discover something about caterpillars I did not know i.e. that they can have up-to 12 eyes. As I looked to read about this more, I fell upon an even stranger story, of a 3 year old Indian girl that had a caterpillar fall into her eye. Her eyes are normal now but she needed 3 operations to remove barbs from the caterpillars skin http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/3-year-old-operated-on-6-times-as-caterpillar-falls-into-eye/articleshow/50876204.cms - how wonderful nature is that it creates false eyes and real eyes - an absorbing account here indeed.

The butterfly effects starts with a very humble movement- the flap of a butterfly wing. What starts humble could shake up mountains. So, I fully agree with your example and establishing virtual e-teams with three to four bees in each might result in wonders Kevin Pashuk

Authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis and others used to meet at a pub in Oxford and share their creative ideas, their stories, and some beverages. From this bevy of writers came such works as 'Lord of the Rings', 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and much more. They called themselves the 'Inklings'. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inklings) Perhaps beBee is the modern replacement for such a creative community. And to think it may have started with a picture of such a lowly creature .

I am beyond words Ali Anani. To say you are a Renaissance Man would be limiting. You are a man of all time.
