No...Well, I had to chuckle a bit at this, Charlie. Not making light of the situation, or anything like that, but the image on the right is what BOTH of my eyes look like. I was born that way. I do this dance every year when I go to the eye doc: I am looking to hear two words: "No change". I am blind in one eye and am told that my other eye could go, literally, at any time. Hmmm. Funny how I've dedicated my life to being a visual artist. Ah, well. It just is another excuse to savor every moment and know that none of us knows what life will truly bring. None of us knows our expiration date. For some reason, in my 30s, I think about this more than at any other point in my life. Perhaps it's the result of growing up in a nursing home. To that end, hang in there. Savor every moment. Taste the sweetness or the sheer bitterness, but taste. Hear the melodies or the cacophony. Feel the rush or the doldrums. See the beauty and improve what might be ugly...or not. Smell the flowers and hopefully not too much pollen. :)Cyndihttp://brushesleavesandcloth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-26889138909156747542010-10-26T19:28:26.692-07:002010-10-26T19:28:26.692-07:00I guess that's why you've not replied to m...I guess that's why you've not replied to my email.
