This photo from the Hubble telescope is of the Helix Nebula, nicknamed by some astonomers as "The Eye of God." It does look like an eye deep in space, looking our direction. Some find eye contact uncomfortable. How long do you hold it? How long should it last? Do you look at the whites of their eyes, dead center at the pupil, or study the color? It's a question that many people wrestle with every hour of every day. An artist in New York has a new exhibit on Times Square. Actually, it's 48 stories above Times Square and is five stories tall itself. The art work is called "I in the Sky". It shows ordinary people looking right into the camera making eye contact with the viewers. It shows 30 frames in 30 seconds with one person. The artist says "We just need more eye contact; it's what makes us himan." The only reason for the art is to communicate to people the need for eye contact. Click the post title and read the article at WIRED.com. It's very interesting.
There are many many Bible verses that talk about look, see, eyes, etc. But my favorite is Psalm 13:3
“Take a good look at me, God, my God; I want to look life in the eye, So no enemy can get the best of me or laugh when I fall on my face.”(The Message translation)
