[stylist] the synesthesia poem ... finally!

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

That's so interesting. And I just realized that I had a blonde moment
because when you say, Atty, that you're grateful for your colors, it
makes me realize that if a person had never been able to see visually,
they wouldn't be able to identify color; not in the way that you are all
describing. So... I was definitely slow on the uptake here, ha-ha! Yet,
I've never heard of this until I met blind people. To my knowledge, I've
yet to meet a sighted person who has this ability.

I could see the colors of letters numbers and words before I went blind
at 
10. I still see them but the difference is I see colors everywhere all
the 
time now.

The synestigia (spelled wrong I know) comes from a cross wiring in
sensory 
input.

Since before three I didn't do much reading, I don't recall colorful
words. 
I had quite a blow to the head resulting in eventual blindness. Probably
did 
knock a wire or too loose. LOL

I love my colors and am grateful to have them.
