Marti’s Musings

Seeing with your eyes closed

I see colors! A visual person from childhood I would try to see specific colors when my eyes were closed. Understanding that my eyes were not closed but my rather my eyelids. And if you looked in different light well… I was also perpetually fascinated by the rainbow of colors produced by tar bubbles in the pavement. All was well until I decided to draw with the those colors. Tar all over my fingers, took my mother a long time to clean off and I was in big trouble admonished to never do that again. My poor mother, I constantly questioned her to be certain that all people saw colors the same as each other. What if my green was your orange? We would all be looking at the same thing convinced we all saw the same thing! Color has been a permanent sidekick my whole life and I’m glad about that.
