half-blind

i dreamt last night that i went blind in my left eye. i fell to the ground begging God to restore the big, black, half-world i could no longer see. even crying seemed inhuman. the left-eye tears seemed to be coming out of a void. i felt like half of my life had been cast into darkness. when i awoke and was able to see with both eyes, i immediately found myself more than just relieved. my joy in seeing had been enhanced by the nightmare.

i am thankful God is patient with me.
