Eclipses and Faulty Wires

Some interesting articles found their way to me recently, resulting in this. Themes of prayer versus meditation, psychological projection, the limitations of our senses, and handling dualism.

Read about an old man blind from birth,

I can’t imagine what he saw in dreams,

but I’m sure it was beautiful.

 

Underwent surgery at forty-nine,

hoping to finally see the light.

 

Killed himself two years later.

 

 

Saw a video of a young woman deaf from birth,

I can’t imagine what she heard in dreams,

But I’m sure it was beautiful.

 

Underwent surgery at twenty-nine,

hoping to finally hear herself laugh.

 

It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, and heard.
