I lost my glasses last week. Spectacles are such elusive creatures. They've served me well; illuminating the road on dark nights. Revealing faces from across the bar. Transforming musicians on stage from fuzzy outlines to artists showcasing their work.

Glasses are limiting. At times, I'm concentrating more on what I can see instead of everything else that is going on around me. Although I value the gift of sight...I think it is overrated. Hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling the world are equally as important. Seeing can be blinding. When I close my eyes, cues from the outside world mold my imagination into a beautiful recreation of reality.
