"with each step we enter into the centre of self, the heart of all.....where we are connected to each heart that has ever crossed our path, or is yet to cross our path, on the journey of life" - OJO -
There is so much we have to give and receive from one another. We share the same air in a continual flow, the breath of a planet. We are the mirrors of the soul of all time and space.
We are gifted with endless opportunities to look into the soul of another, every time we make eye contact. We may only have made this contact once and we never see these eyes again, but the impact can be forever. There is a transference of information.......a soul exchange. We are altered in some form.
I often find it interesting how when wearing sunglasses we do not look into each others eyes, how convenient in this time of change. The option to choose who we make eye contact with, who we share our souls with.
I have to ask, "Is this helpful or hurtful?"
We learn from each experience with another, we do not know in that instance what will transpire in our life from our connection or if we will ever join again. Sometimes we have fleeting experiences of re-connection throughout our lives with another, whether it be casual acquaintances or familiar friends and whether it be joy or sorrow. Here in this moment I am also reminded that even in death when the memory of a physical set of eyes is in front of us, such as a photo, we are really remembering this connection in our hearts, the place of joy from a soul connection we made. Their essence remains as part of us.
Some we have an internal connection, that of our families, our eyes are one in the same, sharing physical traits and genetics. How much of the mirror we allow ourselves to look at is a personal choice. Our families are a constant reflection to us and a steady beam of light to guide the way. Our souls are connected from the eye within.
I feel that it is more important than ever to make this contact. To take off our sunglasses and look each other in the eye. In joy and sorrow. To dare to learn something from another and to learn from what we see as a reflection from them within our selves. Our companions that travel beside us come and go with time and distance in physical form. Some are filled with very intense situations where we learn and grow. Some last for long periods, yet fade with time, burning out.
ALL are gifts of LOVE!
Unless we make the contact we cannot truly experience what there is to give and receive. This is walking the path of love.

| Walking the Path of Love |
To look left eye to left eye in heart connection
To see as souls not minds
To see from our heart centres
To see within the eyes of another soul
To see the reflection as our own
To use the inner eye for feeling the presence of another |
| my left eye to your left eye |
