How to use blinking in a sentence?
As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I ca n’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move.
We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn't matter so much as it seemed to do -- it's not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn't matter so much.
We noticed a little erratic behavior like these blinking lights that are on a sensor. When my family or any other family leaves or returns to their homes, they all start to blink, when the sensors are activated, loud music begins to play.

Comprehensive talkers are apt to be tiresome when we are not athirst for information; but, to be quite fair, we must admit that superior reticence is a good deal due to lack of matter. Speech is often barren, but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest.

The warning signs are there. The system is blinking. It is why I believe we are at a critical point, today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack.
