I’ve been thinking a great deal about eye contact lately, and not just because of the Daily Bitch Calendar for today.
Most of the eye contact I’ve been making for almost two years has been through Zoom-like online platforms, and I know I’m not alone in that.
Last night — when my eyes were making contact with many things besides sleep — I was noticing that some of my memories of meetings and groups I was in before the pandemic are being transformed into Zoom meetings in my head. It’s as if I can’t quite remember what it’s like to be in a room with people, and my mind is filling in details based on recent memories.
If we were face to face right now, perhaps you might be avoiding eye contact with me because of that previous paragraph.
Do you notice eye contact in any of my other images for today?
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “eye contact”:
Here’s “Eye Contact” by Chrisaunt.
I wish I could make eye contact with you as I thank you for visiting my blog, but this will just have to do:
I see you, even without eye contact!
It’s great being seen by and seeing you, my friend!
In spite of having made eye contact with more Far Side cartoons than I can count many of them remain fixed in my mind, including “The Many Moods Of An Irish Setter” and just how different Irish Setters are from Nicholas Cage.
Mine eyes remember making contact with those cartoons, Chris.
eye see you for who you really are. and that’s a good thing.
Same! 👀💕
I see you made eye contact with your camera lens and captured some interesting winter scenery.
Thanks for praising my photographic eye, Maria!
Eye wonder what it says about me that I can identify Joan but not the face on the pillow, Ann.
Eye wonder why your movie reviewing experience did not allow you to recognize Nicolas Cage, my friend!
I should have seen it, you’re right, Ann!
I am usually not very good at identifying celebrities, but I did see Nicolas Cage! It’s a very unique pillow. 🙂 I have only used Zoom to keep in touch with friends and family over the last two years, and even though it’s a poor substitute for being in person, I’ve been so grateful that we have the opportunity to make eye contact!
I hope to make more eye contact with you in the future, my friend!
