The Eyes Are the Windows to the Soul

Shelved under Bits and Pieces, My Thoughts, Photo Hunters, Snapshots

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, May 31, 2008 is YOURSELF or PART OF YOU.

Here is a photo that I took a few months ago, while I was waiting for my husband and children to come pick me up from my “workplace” (hubby’s family home where I have a small room for my individual Enrichment/Tutorial sessions during Saturdays). Photo has been cropped of course, and this was the best there is among several attempts I made to take a good (for me at least) photo of my eye.

Kahlil Gibran wrote: “Our appearance, our words, our actions are never greater than ourselves. For the soul is our house, our eyes its windows, and our words its messengers.”

Have a great weekend everyone :)

Lovely lashes! And, maybe because so many people close to me have lovely shades of brown eyes, I’ve always loved brown eyes. I don’t think they would work for me, though.

My “self” shot is up. Just me.

I see from your pretty eye that you appear to be deep in concentration or thought.

Do drop by when you have a chance.
