Loss begets compassion

Eye doctor office
After three hours without vision in one eye, decided to visit eye doctor as a walk in. They saw me within 30 minutes.

Loss begets compassion.

Thinking yesterday about what felt like a possible (not probable, not on the first day anyway) loss of one eye, i immediately started looking for the blessings.

Sixty-plus years with two eyes.

Some are born blind.

Some become blind as children; in one or both eyes.

Others become blind later, but still spend most of their life without sight.

Losing an eye after six decades feels pretty lucky, perhaps even miraculous, compared against common outcomes.

Two Dog Flats

Parked roadside at Two Dog Flats to get ATT signal…this happened. Fun. There’s a second dog between the man’s legs.

Blessings are commonly invisible until they disappear.

Lost sight in one eye while walking. Cannot see anything except the perception of light. For example, unable to see my arm in front of me.

Cheryl’s organizing yesterday allows me to return to this in a week. Gone are the three large cardboard boxes.

Not a fan of National Park Lodge room water for drinking. Hence multiple water jugs.

Heading to my two favorite places in the world is heartwarming.

Deep and broad thinking is admirable. Decide for yourself what suits you.
