The most important thing SHE said: (diana nyad!)
she teaches a lot of very highly valuable lessons.. but one of the most important things SHE said
i must paraphrase:
"mind over matter is the luxury of a healthy brain."
-amen! & amen! sister..
***
and.. when i have time, i should like to review & research the charlie rose interview with a few men around the table.. veterans.. one who spoke of being both physically and mentally traumatized
i must paraphrase here also:
"trauma to the mind.. was far worse". /and here it is valuable to know just how severely he was traumatized physically so you can take in the gravity of what he is explaining..
it remains one of the unaccomplished (unaccomplishable?) purposes of my life:
what is the closest i have come?
quadriplegia is to the physical body
as
PTSD is to the mind;
only even worse than that.
***
and I'm not going to just turn to a different page or chapter here; but to an entirely different book:
I'm also struggling to communicate this:
fabric is to skin
as
photos are to eyes.
-because quite literally.. it seems i don't just see photographs but feel them
when i say feel.. I don't mean emotionally. I mean like texture.. Smooth or bumpy, silky or sticky
like that.
-thoroughly enjoying my weekly visits to the Finland photographer: lightscrape.blogspot.com
like a quilter (quiltor?) does a fabric store.
