Eyesight Saturday, October 6, 2007 I often feel as though I look at things longer than they deserve. I haven't yet deciphered the wood pattern on my dresser, and am beginning to think there's no answer or rhythm to it. How many more times can I stare into a picture upon my wall and wonder how hard it must be to water the plant considering how oddly-shaped the artist painted the planter, or how easily I would be distracted from my task by the cool and moist, blurred blue presence of Mt. Fuji through my window. If I took a few steps further, would it become clear? Like a memory, light has a way of reflecting off of everything in the room and fecundating the walls with the ever-looming presence of Fuji and how blue she and I are.
I can focus on this picture for longer than a rabbit can, but I never asked for this ability. It is not what I need. I wish that light would refuse to bounce off of my wall; angry and indignant, having traveled 149,598,000 kilometers for what? Just to be trapped in a room and bouncing between my eye and a fake planter? I offend the sun each and every second that I continue to debase its exertions for such a trifle. I wish I were a real plant, blind and without question. My life would depend on the presence of the sun. I could take what I need, and turn the rest into something meaningful for what lives around me.

But it's a wonderful piece of work seriously. I look forward to reading your entries. » Nuttz on 2007-10-06 12:41:00 Well, looking at things and thinking about them more saves you from being bored, at least. :P » randomjunk on 2007-10-06 03:52:26 Normally, I wouldn't recommend an entry that uses the R word (rabbit), but this one was so nicely written » Dilated on 2007-10-07 03:18:22 I'm looking foward to reading more of your writings ^.^ It seems like you think too much, but thats never really a bad thing because many people do » Midnight on 2007-10-07 08:53:34 It's a good thing to stop & truly EXAMINE the things around us. I'm studying sight in my anatomy class & I take that sense for granted the most! Anyway, nice entry. =) » rowenabautista on 2007-10-09 07:25:53 I have figured you out. And I must say, this is a pleasant change. You inspire me to actually think and write about things. I would expand on this, but I could go on for a while, like I almost did. But that is for some other time and place. » invisible on 2007-10-09 11:29:01
