How is it, that...
I find out from my doctor in Lexington that I am partially blind. That I have no peripheral vision.
And on the way home, I see the most amazing rainbows. Two of them. I wikipedia'd it. This is what it said:
More rarely, a secondary rainbow is seen, which is a second, fainter arc, outside the primary arc, with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside.
And that's exactly what I saw. It was a backwards rainbow...haha. But the real rainbow...it was absolutely breathtaking. So bright.
And I thought...wow. What if I go completely blind? I've only seen one rainbow in my entire life, this is my second. I haven't seen what the world has to offer, yet. I haven't been to Hawaii. I haven't been out of the country. I haven't been camping yet. I haven't seen the world! What if I lose my vision...how awful that would be....right?
Now, when I wikipedia'd the rainbow, I scrolled down some and stopped and this painting stuck out to me. No lie. I read it.
This is what it said:
The Blind Girl, oil painting (1856) by John Everett Millais. The rainbow – one of the beauties of nature that the blind girl cannot experience – is used to underline the pathos of her condition.
What's even stranger about this painting is that there's two rainbows in it. Not just one.
Anyway...
I didn't even get a picture to remember it by, because my batteries were dead. I only have a mental image...but I'm plenty happy to just have gotten to see it, trust me! It was very pretty.
Isn't that strange, though...? Maybe it's some force of the universe trying to tell me something.
Or maybe it's God. I don't know.
But, the next night, after The Office, I decide to watch 30 Rock because it looked like it was going to be good. So, I did.
And guess what? There was a blind woman! Haha. Maybe I'm looking a bit too much into it. But, what if I'm not?
And then after watching it, I was asked by someone if I had watched the episode. I never watch it. But I was asked anyway. That could just be a coincidence.
But the other stuff...is it all connected? I feel that it is. It's just too strange not to be. Is God trying to show me something? Is someone or something else trying to show me something?
Do I sound crazy yet?
Good.
Because I'm not going to get anywhere without letting go of my comfort zone and letting loose of some normalcy.
