Eyes

Jennifer Colucci's eye

Last night, while teaching my son the magik of affirmations and the command of his body to heal, he looked up at me and said, “Mommy, I know this is gonna work because I see all the Reiki colors in your eyes.”

My first thought was he was seeing auras. After settling him in to bed, I looked at my eyes in the bathroom mirror. I didn’t see rainbows or auras, but my bands of colors were definitely pronounced and vibrant.

I love my eye color.

In the past, I was disappointed with being lumped into the “other” box for hazel. Brown eyes? No. Blue? No. Green? No. Hazel it is! I think labeling the windows into our souls with neat little boxes limits our understanding of, well, everything.

My eyes have grey brown circles filled with green and centered with gold. Heh. Kinda surprised myself to realize its the same three colors of my brand — gold, green and a warm grey.

I love to think that no mater what colors my son saw that night, he was seeing my true self shining through.
