I have always heard some people say that you can tell alot about a person from their eyes and that the eyes are the way to see into someone's soul. I am a true believer in both those statements. The eyes are the first thing that I notice about someone when I first meet them. For instance my wife Kathy when I first met her I noticed that she had and still has a certain joy and happiness in her eyes. They sparkle alot of the time even when she is having a sad or bad day. When we first met I would say to her take off those rose colored glasses of yours sweetie...now I say I love those rose colored glassed of yours. Because her eyes show her soul and her soul is one of peace and love for all people. It just amazes me at times.
Now some people have dark and cold eyes. My cousin Tim is one of those people. We are the same age and he has had a life of drugs and drinking of which he has never come out of. He is such a good guy but he is not a happy or contented one. Even when he smiles his smile seems to be one that he has to work to have. It doesn't come easy for him. It is a shame because he is a very attractive guy and he does have a good heart he just has cold empty eyes. He has a very troubled soul.
The eyes tell the story of many many people. Our President for instance has caring eyes. Most politicians have dubious eyes meaning an indecisive or questionable look in their eyes. It might just be that they have a learned ability to make that happen because of their jobs. So much of the time people hide things in their soul and it comes out in their eyes. Which brings me to the point of this blog.
There have been many tragic shootings over the last few years and of course gun control always seems to come up when these horrible things happen. For me I have always been one for stronger gun laws it just comes out more when these tragedies happen. If you notice on most all of these perpetrators of this violence with guns their eyes tell their stories. It is as though they have no soul. When you look at pictures of them their eyes look cold and distant. Most always they look deranged and scary. They seem to have lost a zest for life somewhere down this road to nowhere or perhaps they always had no zest for life they were just existing and not living. Now this is of course beside the mental health issues they're having. My focus is simply on the eyes or the looking glass to their souls.
I tend to gravitate to friends that have a sparkle in their eyes or a sense of life to their eyes. My circle of friends all have eyes that you can see into their souls and even when they're going through turmoil or bad situations they still have clear eyes and loving eyes. My critters all have happy eyes even when they're not. Lucky Lu {rest her little soul} had the most soulful eyes of any critter I have ever had even the Budster. I could just stare into her eyes for hours at a time. I so miss her eyes and her. She is in my heart always. It is true dogs and cats have eyes that tell their story. When you are blessed to have a critter to love look into their eyes and see them. You want be disappointed.
These are my thoughts and feelings from Jillsville.
