Seeing Too Much

Yesterday I had my eyes dilated during my yearly eye exam. You would think that having your eyes wide open would be a good thing, that the world would come into clearer focus, that you would see more detail, that all would be revealed... Maybe I'm getting carried away with my hopes for vision, but you get the idea. Unfortunately the opposite happens, your vision blurs, the light is offensive, and if you are like me you spend the rest of the day in a dark room with sunglasses on waiting for your sight to be restored, as trying to focus your eyes on anything is futile. As a visual person not being able to take in the world around me is challenging, but it provides a pause & brings me back to sight with renewed vigor. Happy Wednesday Y'all!
