What’s further: the length from Earth to Moon or the length from eyes to soul?
Something inside me says that the length from eyes to soul is infinitely further.
It feels to me to be boundless, filled with a lifetime of experiences known and yet to be discovered that is only continuing to expand outward with each passing moment we’re alive.
And yet, in a world packed with and overly focused on commodities, the eyes of another can be mistaken as such—just another object blended into the world of things that lie outside of ourselves that has no depth beyond what’s immediately seen.
But, the same depth that’s inherently known to be buried behind our own eyes exists in the hidden space behind the eyes of every other, too.
Realizing this, we might begin to explore that space a little differently. Rather than quick glances and convenient redundant conversations—we might look into the eyes of another as an opportunity for other-worldly exploration.
…Because that’s exactly what it is when we commit fully to exploring that great beyond.
We are far more deep than we portray each other to be.
