[stylist] Thinking of words

[Barbara Hammel]

Each of the letters has its own color, numbers have their own color and so 
do the days of the week and the months of the year.  Someone once told me 
that %10 of the population have synesthesia.  Until recently, I thought 
everyone did but it was after reading "Born on a Blue Day" and discussing it 
with the person who suggested I read it--she has synesthesia, too--I asked 
my husband, and several others since, who don't see anything but the 
black-and-white.  Oh, and Braille symbols have colors also.

Through the sunny fields of yesterday
Echo voices of children now grown,
Their golden peals of laughter
Ring upon the ivied stone.

When I think of words I immediately think of their color. I have graphemic
synesthesia and my numbers and letters are in color, but secondly comes the
mind seeing of the word and sometimes mine are braille simbols, sometimes
printed letters and sometimes a mix of both.

Anyone else do this?

Curious now,
Atty
