Would my presence interferes with your eye contact with yourself?

What would you rather...to see someone you can see every time you want or to see a stranger?

your presence might interfere if i actually look at you rather than at myself. however, i might only see myself as i look at you. and to do that, i would have to look with an inner eye, that does not look outward.

interesting question. which would you prefer to see?

i guess for me, it would depend on the person i see often. for some of those, i would prefer them to a stranger. yet, a stranger enables me to discover how to see in new ways.

A very close firend, told me once that people are ways, paths that need to be walked by, but many times it's not that we get lost, is that we lose ourselves...hard to explain, but something like that.

Anyway...I will always prefer to see someone else more than myself.

sounds like a very interesting friend.

if i see another person, it helps me have a wider perspective, maybe even challenges me to reconsider things. i like that.

Interesting is not enough.

To change thoughts by something or worse, by someone, that's what I hate about people like you...that's what makes me to love talking to people like you and thank them...thank you.

so a love/hate conversation?

Sara said...

It's more complicated than that.

anne artist said...

as are most things. as well as simpler than that.
