#sharp gaze

A bald eagle can spot prey from over 3 kilometers away. Its eyesight is four to five times sharper than ours. When it stares into the distance, it's not daydreaming - it's scouting!

Hey Ron! (get it? hey-ron? Heron?) Oh dear. London, 2025 taken by @herlastnamepage

A common buzzard’s stare can stop you in your tracks—sharp, unblinking, and utterly ancient. It doesn’t miss much from up there.

Only the sharp gaze that has gone through this self is aware of the true size of the core,  and capable of distinguishing it from its vessel. I’ve heard your questioning in disbelief that others don’t see what you spot as obvious; being the gap between unthinkable, arising doubts of mental health even. But let them be, for words and actions shall shape for them what your heart once discovered, and found out to be true, amongst the mysteries of haze, deep within.
