It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye…
While on a recent walk with my dog, as always, she paused beneath a tree to take in some of the new scents.
As I turned my head to walk away a tree branch poked, then scraped me across my eye leaving severe abrasions
over my cornea. I’ve been (accidentally) maced, (intentionally) poked, elbowed and punched in my eye before,
nothing comes even close to the pain inflicted by the limb of my wooden assailant. This relatively unassuming tree
must have been part Redwood. Although my visions still a bit blurry I am grateful and very lucky there was no visible
or permanent damage to my eye. Yesterday the doctor removed the protective contact lens, it feels good to be able to
update my blog again. Some of the next few posts are stuff I was planning to post last week and earlier this week,
bare with me if some of this seems like old news. Big thanks to my friend Kenan for helping a blind man get to the
doctor.

Eye injuries are scary as hell especially for artists. The thought of losing sight is terrifying.
