I just finished watching "Broken Embraces," the new film by creative Director Pedro Almodóvar. In it, the protagonist had become blinded by a car accident. It made me think about how life is different when living without this important sense. I've thought about being blind before. I think it was a self-conscious phase in which I almost wanted to be living without other people's stares affecting my ego.
Now after the film, I am inspired to imagine a world of darkness:
I have let go of desiring sight.
I am peaceful in the dark.
I see light instead of form.
I see with my imagination.
I imagine more than ever.
Eye can feel sensations on my skin on a cellular level.
Eye can sense my border-less existence with my environment all the time.
Eye smell and it sets my mind ablaze with wonder.
Eye can hear sounds as individual circular waves.
Eye can see now.
