Windows to the Soul
As I stated in the past, I do not like to have my picture taken. If I do (get it taken), then I need to either be wearing sunglasses or not have my eyes showing.
Why?
I have been told many things when people look into my eyes. Most see the rage and pain that is constantly in my soul. A select few see the calm core. I have scared more people by looking at them (uncovered) than I can count. At one time, I did have the awful fear that my essence would be trapped in a picture, if my eyes showed in them.
So, I salute those of you, like Jenn, her daddy's eyes, Kent, Erin, Gambl0r, and Katrina, for the showing of your eyes. Something I will have a hard time doing, if ever.

Eyes are a beautiful part of the human anatomy that allows us to show what's deep inside. I think you should embrace the beauty within, even if some choose only to see rage and pain that you describe. Your calm core is in there, people just need to relax in order to see what's truly inside of you!

Thanks, again. However, I guess that it has more to do with what I see in myself (when I see a picture with my eyes exposed). If you talk to my friends, like Kent (whose blog you have read) he says much the same as you. It is just an aspect of myself that I find lacking/disturbing.

Here's hoping you find peace in your eyes...

I see your wine toast and raise to you an Anchor Porter.

Every emotion is an emotion worth experiencing.
Eyes tell what the soul holds. You should show your eyes, they are always beautiful. The only bad eyes, are blank eyes.

Rock on, Jenn!

Jenn-You are right. But, (long story short) if my eyes are the only thing that I don't show, this is a step forwrd for me. For a long time I didn't even show face. In my minds eye, I couldn't visualize my face for years. Now, I can visualize my face, but I see the darkness in my eyes.
Maybe one day though, I will post a picture sans glasses.
Eyes- Nice pun!

And dark glasses can invoke a little mystery too.
