Great and Infinite Soul, you are the eyes of the ages, and you listen with the heart of eternity.  We each of us struggle to be seen, are shouting to be heard.  We want to be known.  In a sudden and unexpected moment, we may catch a glimpse of ourselves through the eyes of another, and we are startled at the stranger that is revealed.  Knowing ourselves honestly, in all of our shortcomings and with all of our gifts, is the deepest spiritual work we can do.  In gratitude for our inner eyes and ears, we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
