[stylist] For Andi Re: A poem and reply to Lynda's last message...

Andi,
Never apologize for that.  If I have touched you  with my touch that is all 
I need to hear.  It honors me and it humbles me  that I could do that.
Thank you so much!
Myrna

I adore this poem I am sorry I am lacking the words to  express why I love
it, but it is so eloquent and  beautiful.

Subject: [stylist] A poem and reply to Lynda's last  message...

Lynda, again your note touched me, and I so   agree.  When I wrote the 
pieces
for Sparrow, I did so at the  behest  of a sighted friend who kept telling 
me
that I had so much to  say but he wanted  to hear it the way I see it.  So
began my  journey of words but also a  journey of reflection and
introspection,  a journey into my own thoughts about my  blindness.  The
writing  became more of a gift to me than anything I can  offer anyone  
else.
Here is one of the pieces from the book and I believe  you will  see the
message I tried to convey, and if you notice the particular  way  it is
written this is a nonce form I developed a few years ago  and love writing
in the style. (If anyone needs it attached please let  me  know.)

Interpretations

I color my world  with whispers of spring, scent of  new leaves, taste of
April rain,  and warmth touching skin after  winter's

chilled keeping, shading  it in hues
of comfortable  silence and warbling song, splashing sips  of watercolor
gladness

across its aging canvas before  dipping
brush into  contentment's fragrance,
dripping it onto  imagination's palette,  and  I

wonder sometimes if strokes in  richer
values of  unseen sky and earth bleeding into twilight would be  a more 
vivid
interpretation

of wind and trees, sun and moon,  clouds
and stars.  I think perhaps it would be all this, more  beautiful, more
interesting and  colorful,

but what it would  not be is my truth, my vision, or  honesty of the world 
as
I see it  even if I could paint it  differently.
