seed

One look in the eye is actually enough.
Of course, there are a lot of surprises out there. For example, when my teacher back in grammar school picked up this really boring, grey, dirty, rough stone, split it in half and showed us the violet christalls inside.

Now that I think of this image I might even go further and say: actually no surprises. I think that the eyes ARE the christals. Your outer appearance doesn't really really mean anything in the conventional way of thinking at least. But your eyes do. The saying that eyes are the window to the soul holds a lot of truth I feel.

I looked into her eye and I knew ever since I saw her the first time, that we would become friends. It is weird but very true. For example, this other girl looked interesting to me and we became 'friends' in a more superficial way, I had the best of intentions but life just showed that there is nothing deep to it.

But with her, there was something from the first time we met and I was cool with it. I didn't pursue a friendship with her, talking to her or anything, I knew and then let it just happen. I guess that's how I've found most of my friends outside my immediate surrounding back home. I just let it happen but most of the time I would know in advance, from one glance.

She is so beautiful. And now we are in a working group together in our singer songwriter's class and her silence speaks louder than anyone else in this room to me. Her smile, her eyes, her energy. It's a seed, a feeling, a potential, maybe it will unfold itself, maybe it will go past us like so many things in life. But one thing I know: She is a friend. And could be one for life, or at least, for a long period of time, as long as it would be important in our lives...

The same thing happened to me with T. I saw her in front of the school, sad I like her style of dressing and the second time we met we jumped into each other's arms. We JUST KNEW. It's so weird, but it's simply like that.

Also with K. He and I knew from the first time we took time to really see the other person and talk, that we'd be good friends. In a sense that is OUTSIDE the box. you know, it doesn't actually matter in this case whether or not we'd do a lot together or talk to each other frequently. The point is, that when we do, IT MATTERS. every and each time.
