I once saw an episode of "Star Trek", I missed the first few minutes so I don't know how he got there but Captain Picard was in a parallel world. He lived out an entire life. He was married, had children, lived in a community. At the end of the episode he was back on the Enterprise-D. I thought it was the saddest thing I had ever seen. Even if the whole thing was imagined, he had memories that were real to him. He had a piece of him missing. A hole he carried with him. I don't know what made me think about this. Maybe its the idea that we get one life. Many of us spend time wondering, "What if.." The choices we make, the places we go, the way we think. It all leads us to the end of our life but we can't help but wonder, "What if...?"

I have had two lover's tell me what they see in my eyes. One recent and one in the past. The statements left quite an impression. I wear glasses, so I don't think about my eyes. Apparently, when the glasses are off and passion is involved, they make themselves known. Here are the two Statements: So with respect to your eyes....what I was seeing was dark pools, with a hint of green and purple...and some flecks of gold, although that might have been wishful thinking. But frankly, it was hard seeing past the fire in them, when you smile with your eyes it it really striking. Your eyes are yellow when we make love. They catch the light and turn gold.
I have saved the comments made. To savor when I feel a need to smile. You know, all the way up to my eyes!
