Time and before Time and Time no more have affected my vision. It has become distorted from that which is deemed as the "norm". Prescribed lenses will not correct my view. I cannot see as so many others see. There remains no desire for you to see as me. No longing lingers for you to understand my narrow vision. I am seen by most as either far too peaceful or much too savage to function in the "world" that has been laid before me. Both views are correct. I am blinded and cannot see beyond the boundaries of my vision. No different than anyone else. I would request that you show patience and perhaps allow forgiveness of my near-sightedness. I would ask tolerance for my retardation. But, it matters not. The elephant is as a whip. It is as the trunk of a tree. It resembles a serpent. It is all of these things and none of them, alone. A rope is a snake is a rope. The glass is half full and half empty. Were it not for the emptiness it could be neither. I cannot see the "chaos" that so many speak of. I look at the world And everything within it Like gazing into space It is all... "out there" And is... as it is. Like watching the stars I see no good or bad ones. No flawed constellations. Eternity is seen in the things that "pass". Infinity is beheld within the world's finite objects. The first oak remains within every oak that stands and within each acorn that falls. It remains within the rafters and the furnishings. Within the heat that comforts and the smoke that rises from the chimney tops. There is only Perfect Peace There is only Bliss. The only thing that "seems" to exist beyond this state is the wonderful gift of the "experience of Life" that I have given myself. I would ask tolerance for my retardation But it matters not. I am blinded and cannot see beyond the boundaries of my vision. No different than anyone else. |

Both the elephant and the glass have been in my thoughts a lot lately... but I could never have articulated those thoughts in such a magnificent way. It isn't thunder you hear... it's my applause. *S* |

XO, you may be "blinded and cannot see beyond the boundaries of (your) vision." ~ but you see far more than most people! I think you have a fascinating, philosophical mind and I appreciate your ability to express yourself so well!  Love & God's Light, EA XO |

My father was blind. It was always amazing what he could see by not seeing. You have a gift in seeing what you don't see. I am confusing myself here, but ... I think you see very well and express what you see even better. aziza |

Uriah I would ask tolerance for my retardation But it matters not. I am blinded and cannot see beyond the boundaries of my vision. No different than anyone else. but it does matter, or you wouldn't have penned this...and people do look beyond their visions, but remain in denial most times...your perspective is way beyond... so don't be so hard on yourself... this was penned and created by a caring heart... |
