From Matins April 10, 2007
God has willed that man's gaze was the only thing you can not hide. I kept as a bookmark, it is a greeting card Easter rather than "secular" I received a week already. There is a nice picture of a child whose eyes staring at you so surprised and questioning, while leaving a small chocolate egg. Underneath is the phrase that I mentioned and which is said to be based on the novel Paul Jones (unknown to me) the famous French author of the Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas or father. You can not, however, deny that intuition, simple and obvious, both significant and important. The look is indeed a powerful means of communication, so much so that his soul was speaking to Michael that "looks out across the eyes." Not for nothing lovers, exhausted the repertoire words, look at each other in silence and this is perhaps the most successful language intenso.Ugualmente the highest level of prayer and spirituality is contemplation. However, there is also a more immediate in the words of Dumas. With the look you are most vulnerable and sincere, are called emotions and inner truth that would conceal the words and even contradict. People used to meet people and listen to realize that some fail to look long in the eyes, or you see that sometimes their eyes is spanned by a flash that says a lot more of their sentences, or that their eyes become suspicious. This is why it is customary to say Executioner does not look in the eyes of its victims, because you can forget a face but do not look terrified or a load of hate. We find, then, this ability to speak with their eyes and recognize the language of glances, in a genuine dialogue and deep.
I wanted to bring this article from the newspaper "Future" by Gianfranco Ravasi, because I think it is a topic very interesting and exciting!
it definitely is for us young people but it is also, and above all I would say, for older people whose eyes are often crossed by hatred, resentment and envy.
so we learn to look with each other! Let
with eyes-free, sincere, and profound as this mother and her child in the picture!
