[stylist] Art show on vision thought

[Eve Sanchez]

Robert, I loved your description of your vision. As a person whose vision
has gone up and down, sighted and unsighted, and everything in-between, I
can understand what you are saying in a personal way. I have seen this, but
never would have been able to put into such beautiful words. Thank you for
doing our vision justice. Blessed Be. Eve (side note- I have and it is not
the same, not so pretty.) haha
