I have problems with eye contact. I don’t want to show people my soul, what I’m really thinking, how I really feel. I suppose this is a habit from childhood. I learned to keep this stuff hidden, under tight wrap, to avoid instigating trouble.

It’s so easy for me to do that all on the page, reveal my true self, but up close and in person, I’m a bit of a coward.

I’m working on it. Because I see how much power there is in deep connection, how much beauty. More than anything, I want that level of intimacy, that kind of connection.

All that being said, this video just blows me away.  I find myself watching it over and over again.

Imagine a lifetime of meaning and emotion exchanged in one glance. Then surviving the exchange.
