A Bit Unclear

Last year I was told that they could not correct my vision anymore than it is.

Because I have a cataract on one eye.

You can imagine that I wanted it removed right away.

But no. . .

I must wait until it ripens?

What a funny word to use.

I bought a new camera and a macro lens.

When I want to know what something looks like 

up close with all of the magnificent detail

I hold my breath and shoot.. .

download  photo's onto my computer screen. . .

then I can see it...

every detail.

I spend much time being thankful for my eyesight.

The camera catches a moment in time

like when butterfly's flutter their wings

I see that with my eyes

my eyes do not capture that stop

in time.

How very strange the world can appear,

blending and breaking, far and near: 

friendly, a little bit unclear.

How good.

Rilke

" I learned: the first lesson of my life:

nobody can face the world with his eyes open all the time."

Salman Rushdi

Below in the previous posts you will find a "tutorial" of sorts

of how to do a Japanese dyeing technique  using safe things

in the kitchen. I did this for a couple of friends who have little

children. I use this same technique in the summer outside using

very large vats of indigo and very large PVC pipe with fiber.

So, now I am on to other things.
