“Eye see you.” 

Orby was a small man with a high-pitched voice. Much in demand, he was one of the best body-men around; he never had any problem finding a job or naming a price. Because of this he was as independent as a hog on ice and brokered no malarkey from any boss. He knew his job, did it well, and wanted to be left alone. His fuse wasn’t all that long. 

Growing up, I recall one time Orby worked for one of the biggest automobile dealers in town. It happened one day the owner was walking through the shop and either real or perceived, Orby thought the boss was spying on him. He stopped, picked up his tools, and just before he went out the door, in his high voice he hollered at the boss, “You might as well get yourself a new body-man, I just quit. I’ve done caught you peeping on me.” Orby’s motto was, “I aint gonna work anywhere long when they think they own you.”
Orby’s boss may have simply casually been looking at him for no particular reason.
Scientist have long contented that there is more to the eye “than meets the eye.” (pun intended). They say the eye emits an energy, and they have pretty good experimental proof of this. I guess we all at times have felt someone was looking at us; turned around, and sure enough they were. Stories from the frontier are plentiful where a person has suddenly dived from his horse to have a bullet rip bark from a tree over his head, or chip a rock by his side. This became, “danger” was looking at him-although he saw or heard nothing.
By the same token frontiersmen always cautioned, “never look directly at an Indian, or a bad man who was trying to way-lay you,” too if you don’t want a dog or cat in your lap, don’t look at them. Also if the baby is in the process of going to sleep, avoid eye contact. If the baby is a difficult sleeper, he will rouse up.
There are serious eyes. Never look into the eyes of a skittish horse, when you have a serious or unhappy look, they know. They pick up on it quickly. Always smile.
Scientist reason that our eye energy comes from the part of the brain thats near to the eye’s optic nerve. This part of the brain is known to deal with our emotions. Why not? Psalms 139:4 tells us, “we are fearfully and wonderfully made.”
