Telltale Eye Sign

The eyes reveal much more than any word, 
sound, or even subtle body shift. 
Let the other person’s optics be your cue 
to leave or stay.

Andrea Dietrich April 22, 2026 at 12:05 PM I enjoyed your own quote. I think there was a contest long ago on something like this? Eyes are very important. I think they are probably the first thing I am drawn to close up. Howard Kerr April 22, 2026 at 1:08 PM Many thanks for your visit and of course your reflections, Andrea, Howard
