Eyes.

"Fields of Gold"

Sclera, ciliary muscles, pupil, cornea, retina, vitreous fluid... The eye is truly an extremely complex organ. So many components functioning together to give you vision. The window. The bridge between the world and our person. Each individual, a unique vision. A different colour. Different hues colouring our lives in different perspectives.

Is it not a wonderment to actually see! Everyday, as the going gets tough and I forget about what really matters in life, I turn myopic. I cease to accept and begin to impose. For that, I must apologise.

I personally feel that the greatest vision anyone can have is that of children. Children look upon the world in bemusement. They look at everything in awe. I was on the train today when I saw a child staring at me. He stared at me for minutes! It's so beautiful to see people just looking in amazement and smiling. It shows the thoughts of a person. It is signs of reflection. Every twitch of my facial muscle was scrutinised by the child. Details meant something when you were young. Everything else that did not matter fades into the backdrop. It's like the aperture of a camera set to only concentrate with a small area.

However, as we grow up, we look at the world as a really big mess. We develop tendencies to look at all the negativities. Have we lost the child-like bemusement?
