I see you! A phrase I love. I see your truth; what you are feeling; what is important and essential to your being. It is honest. We not only see another with our eyes, but with our whole being—mind, body, spirit.
But today I am thinking about the eyes. I write this while waiting to drive a friend home from cataract surgery. I am thinking about another friend who is holding onto her sight in the midst of horrific vision difficulties that have provided her with a team of specialists too long and too complicated to list.
I have renewed gratitude for my own good eyesight, for my successful cataract surgery, and for the times when with my eyes, I say to another I see you, and when they say it back to me.
