I’m 48 hours past cataract surgery on my left eye. My head is dizzy, with one eye moving towards a new level of acuity and the other one stuck in the old visual world. My right eye will receive a new lens in two weeks.
It’s a process that will take six weeks for resolution. In a world seeking instant gratification, a wee part of my brain is protesting the delay. But the wiser part of me sees the big picture.
I love the title I’ve used for this post. The next weeks will be an opportunity for me to widen, to see, to embrace the new. Not a “Woe is me” slog through my vision journey. What will be revealed?
One thing … To what extent will I write this blog? I’m guessing that my posts will be shorter. I certainly feel that right now. And will I say anything of value if I continue in this woozy state? Who knows … perhaps my wayward eyes will soften my mind and allow the infinite easy access. I’m open to that.
As I look through the big windows of Izy Coffee at people on the street, they are more paintings than photographs. They blend with the background. No sharp lines. A good way to live, I’d say.
On I go
See you tomorrow?
Maybe
