Faces

It's a quarter to three and I'm still not sleepy. Everything around me is still.

Quiet. Peace. Tranquility.

More time to think, to reflect.

It's been a while since I did something like this. To just sit still and think while there's soft music playing in the background.

So many faces are flashing in my mind right now. Faces and memories attached to those faces.

There are some faces who were once an important part of my life, but like so many things before them, have come and left, but leaving an indelible mark on my mind and heart just the same.

There are some faces who I have seen just once in my entire lifetime and have sometimes wondered the what-ifs. What if I smiled at her? Would we become friends?

There are faces who are still very an important part of my life. Familiar faces who give me a warm, safe feeling. The faces who have never failed to be there and make me smile.

And then I see my own face. What do I see? I see confusion, sadness, a plethora of emotions.

I still strive to see myself through His eyes.
