Me and The Gaze

[faerie_spark]

There’s a quality of stare that lies upon me, that clings to me like malleable but ever-present plastic wrap. It’s a gossamer gaze, one which flits away if it is perceived. Yet it’s practically universal-inescapable.

This sounds like so much paranoia, doesn’t it?

I may not be able to see,, but I know the gaze is there. It’s not always a typical

A very lovely and thought-provoking post. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully, some who are not familiar with the way that gaze can affect those who fall under it will learn from what you've shared.

Thank you for these kind and complimentary words. it felt really vulnerable to put these thoughts and ideas out there, so I'm glad to know they're somewhat coherent, and maybe useful!

My brain initially went the homophone route at first. I'm glad you did this! It's very well done--and important.

Thank you. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think of homophones.

Very good.
And yet most people would benifit to learn how to navigate blind. It saves a lot of trouble and pain when the lights go out.

Wow! Your writing is very immediate and moves quickly! You've made me stop several times and ponder - and that's a good trait! Now to follow some of your links/notes!

Well done!

Wow. Thank you for the praise, and the specific feedback. It's really helpful. I generally aim for that sort of immediacy. I love playing with words, but I want most of those words to have a purpose beyond just being there on the screen.

My mother-in-law has MS, and she says that people always treated her like she was contagious.
