Heightened Senses

Hello Friends & Artists,

This image is from my Love Letters To Myself collection. Love Letters To Myself is a collection of thoughts I have had over the past few months & years that have helped me on my spiritual path. I carry a journal around with me all the time to write in and the sayings that have encouraged me the most are the ones chosen for Love Letters To Myself.

It has now been more than a week since I have lost my sense of sight. My other senses have become more acute to compensate for the loss of my vision. A couple of days ago as my friend Mert drove us through the small town of Cowichan Bay, BC near where I live. There is a wonderful bakery in Cowichan Bay called True Grain Bakery and I could smell the warm sweet aroma of flour baking in the air as we drove by.
Having temporary loss of vision has helped me also to appreciate the rest of my senses, my life and the opportunity to communicate my emotions. I am accepting & embracing the small amount of vision that I do possess. It seems to me that every day is a gift. As I write or draw right now I am able to stay in the present moment knowing that I am making a positive difference in my life. I can create freer as I stop and listen to the chatter in my mind realize that I am not the chatter in my mind and move pen to paper without judgment as without eyes. I feel blessed to be undergoing this experience. Thank you for your time!

Peace & Blessings,

Robert
