Watch, and Being Watched

"When I am old, I just want to rest in peace."


"No more bloody alcohol, no more unplugged rap, and no more aerobatic flights in between fingers."


Somehow, things can never come in control, even after the death of a mosquito.


But when a spider is seen jumping away, coming back, and at the same time involving all its eight eyes in analyzing me, and all these repeat for many times, I understand that the dead body serves very good as a bait. 


But then could I be a bait too?  While I am  watching at them, am I monitored by someone else? 


"We may seem lonely, but will never be lonely. Thousands of hidden eyes, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, are looking at us, secretly." The mosquito would rap if it can.

The very first to stalk you are the leeches who can smell your fresh blood metres away and like the song by Bette Midler you are being watched 'from a distance' constantly 7/24.

Did you hide yourself in the jungle yesterday?

When I was in lower sec school, we lived in a school with 2 longkangs in front and back. I was telling my son, the front longkang was not deep. There were blood clot like leeches. No documentary talk abt them. I don't know why.

Yes, there may be many things watching us that we never see. Some are watching us because they are afraid. And some are watching us, and we should be afraid.

Your pictures and words are always a pleasure.

Who can be sure that we are not being monitored? The one who monitors us may well reside in our body...:-)

Great close-ups! Yes, we would be surprised if we could see all the eyes watching...eight eyes just on that one spider, amazing!

betchai said...

oh wow, Rainfield, those are great shots, I am amazed always at how your thoughts and pictures go together, I wonder if it is the pictures that inspired the wise thoughts or is it the wise thoughts that allowed you to see the pictures, or both working together?

Regina said...

Here in India, I am being monitored by thousands of mosquitoes and their leader is bringing hordes to sample my foreign flesh. In spite of Odomos cream, they come. I am taking my doxycycline tablets faithfully so I hope I am safe.

You know I do NOT love spiders in spite of your fabulous photos. But I do love you!

AVCr8teur said...

That is a big meal for the lone spider. Perhaps it thought you wanted to be invited for dinner.

Harshi said...

So who killed the mosquito, you or the spider? :D

It's true, so many eyes watching you at any given time. Not just tiny critters, there can be aliens and ghosts and zombies and vampires monitoring us 24/7. :D

I don't like spider, but I love how you organized your photos into categories!
