"I shut my eyes in order to see." - Paul Gaughin...
I really needed to chill yesterday and I literally had the experience of this quote...I layed on a hot bench in the awesome hot sun in a park while my babies played and dared to shut my tired eyes for a moment...ahhhh - it was so nice and clear in my head...when I opened them I was face to face with nothing but TRUE blue sky with the new ULTRA green leaves of Spring branching out everywhere w/ flecks of bright YELLOW from the setting sun...I did not have my camera - which is RARE!, but that was good - I stayed calm not moving - breathing - silent with that green + blue + yellow...now it's part of me forever and I can "see" better for that moment of shutting my eyes and opening them again... with more clarity then I had ever before...the vision is contained within me forever.
