I hope you look up at the sky and take in all the blue.
We gaze at the stars.
And then somewhere along the line, we lower our gaze.
Billy Huynh
We look to the ground, and we forget to raise our eyes to the sky.
We lower our vision to what is close, what is near, what is beneath our feet.
We hide our eyes from the stars and keep whats in front of us in focus.
I hope you learn how to look up again.
Look at the eyes of those who you come into contact with.
Stare at someones face youre talking to them.
I hope you look long enough to learn how their eyes dance when they get excited.
I hope you watch the creases that surround their brow when they get mad or worried or sad.
I hope you pay attention to how deep their laugh lines are, too.
Theres so much to be learned when we can look into the eyes of another.
Look at whats around you.
Let your focus get fuzzy.
Pay attention to the things that are out of arms reach.
I hope you look up at the sky and take in all the blue.
I hope you look at the sun, but not directly, of course.
I hope you look at the tops of the trees.
I hope you gaze out at the ocean, I hope you let your eyes rest on the horizon.
I hope you look at how the buildings burst into the sky.
I hope you look at the moon.
I hope you let your gaze wander amongst the stars.
Theres so much out there waiting for you.
