Eyesight to the blind(ed) or What the fucking fuck!
Life is filled with “What Tha Fuck!!” moments. Maybe religious experiences are just personal or civil WTF moments? The volcano explodes, WTF, a great wind arises from nowhere and blows all you own or hold dear away? WTF! The shrubbery explodes and then begins to offer advice…WTF indeed! Things can change immortally, infinitely, ultimately, profoundly and unfortunately permanently as well in the drop of a hat. Is it Karma? Is it Fate? Pure dumb luck is far more likely. My life has had many WTF moments , wondrous ones as well as not so. Then I went blind……
I guess that WTF moments can be a string of smaller hmmmmms, minor annoyances and coincidences’, going blind certainly was just that. I saw the light. All metaphor aside, I literally saw the light! I wish it had been a religious sort of experience instead of a harsh reality. Truth is, I wish it had been a harsh reality instead of flashes of light I saw. I hardly saw the flashes as it was, my windows open to my parking lot and beyond that is the main highway running north to south for the length of the coast, flashes of light in my world often include blue lights at 2AM, sometimes even on my own property, if the suspect car pulls into my parking lot the police follow and the fun begins. These were no police nor turning cars with high beams, but I thought at first they might well be. Summer thunder rumbles here a lot following the lightning which does light our dome of sky. I thought it was that too. Shows what I know. Flashes of light …Crap! (Practically speaking, if you see an extra group of floaters in your eyes, followed by some flashes when night comes, run to your eye doctor! Don’t dawdle, don’t pass go and don’t collect 200 dollars. You really don’t get to collect the $200 dollars)
Thunder is about as good a warning of lightning strikes as my own personal light flashes were for my own personal storm. I must say, after about 3 nights where I really was saying “what tha fuck!”, it became obvious that whatever it was, was inside my head. Is it a stroke? Is past drug use catching up with me? AM I gonna start to see lizards and will stuff melt before my eyes next? Oh hell, the flashbacks have begun. Then, they stopped.
Then, the blindness crept upon me. What the fuck!
Enough for now.
I have been asked to write a bit for you. I am, decidedly, not our beloved 13th Witch. (Relax folks, she did NOT go blind, nor did she lose her talent for writing so don’t worry.)
Who, you might ask, am I? I am who I am. Hmm, didn’t Popeye say that? Whatever…I seldom write for public purposes, the odd political or civil comment is about all these days. To be asked, is truly an honor, hope yins all like it!
If you’ve read this far, your just gonna have to wait to see about that blindness thing.
