These lovely and very important words came to me one day (January 13, 2019 to be exact!) while I was doing some healing work on my eyes.
An Ode to My Eyes
Beauty
and depth
And
willingness to see,
These
are my eyes
When
I allow them to just be.
External
sight
And
internal vision
Coming
together.
That
is their mission.
My
eyes are so scarred
So surgically altered.
The
trauma they’ve seen
Has
caused them to falter.
I
try to be kind
And
gentle and sweet
To
this part of myself
That
is still hard to meet.
I
have put my eyes
Through
so much pain.
They
showed me the way
Back
to my Soul again.
I
hope I can find
The
courage to stay
With
this deep inner journey
That
is guiding my way.
Yes--my
eyes are so beautiful
Deep
and profound.
They
help me see heaven
And
keep my feet on the ground.
There
is no separation
Between
inner and outer.
My
eyes are aware,
Yet…
I remain a doubter.
My
inner dreams and visions
Are
full of love and support
Yet
my external world
Just
seems to fall short.
My
eyes truly are
The
connecting force
Between
inner and outer.
I
know that is true, of course.
So
next time I doubt
What
my eyes can see,
I
hope I remember
To
just let them be.
