[stylist] Thinking of words

[Donna Hill]

Atty,
When I think of words, I sometimes "see" the print and other times the 
Braille. My experience with seeing colors is mainly while in the act of 
reading Braille. Often I have an overwhelming sensation of light -- to 
the point of squeezing shut already closed eyes.  Sometimes the dots are 
different colors, always very bright. I don't notice any consistency 
between the way these colors correspond to specific letters. I used to 
be more aware of colors associated with specific keys in music -- for 
instance, yellow for the key of D, blue for E. Not sure what that's all 
about, though I find it facinating, and sometimes in Braille a bit 
distracting.
