"Why do we close our eyes when we pray,
when we cry, when we kiss, when we dream;
because the most beautiful things in our life
are not seen, but felt with the heart."
Unknown
Our eyes are but a camera scanning the horizon to be aware of what wonders may come next. We view many things before we are caught up in beauty and we gently close our eyes. Like taking a snapshot, our eyes close to capture what we most desire to retain.
When we are caught off guard by violence, our lids were quickly cover our sight. When we are touched by sadness with tears being shed, then too, our eyes gently close. And when we allow ourselves to move beyond current life restriction, we will dream with our eyes acting like shades closing to allow creativity, imagination, and visualizations to be fully experienced in private.
It is apparent that every one has his or her own opinion of beauty whether taking in landscapes, artistic flair or a sweet baby's face. Perhaps it is the heart that secretly hovers behind the camera prepared to figuratively push the button, Maybe it is the emotions harbored in the heart that connect with the view and quickly whispers, "Take the shot!"
