“There are poisons that blind us and poisons that open our eyes. I don't need these eyes; they're too blind to see. But just because I am blind and unable to perceive beauty doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We often don't realize how much of our joy and interest in life comes through our eyes until we have to live without them. Part of that joy is that our eyes can choose where to look, but our minds can't always choose what to think or remember. Over time, our consciousness becomes steeped in the salt of our tears, and we slowly grow sad and lose hope. Perhaps one day, far from now, I will believe again, and when that day comes, I will write to you and see if you respond.” JoyHopeConsciousnessBeautySadnessFuturePerceptionMemoryEyesBlindness Author:Rolf van der Wind

“There is certainly a peculiar grace, both in the gleaming eyes of a loved one as well in the eyes of someone saying goodbye for the last time. It is the happiness and the sadness shouting joy and pain.” LovePainJoySadnessGoodbyeEyes Author:Rolf van der Wind
“Discovering the true beauty of the world becomes elusive when our perception remains confined solely to the limitations of our own eyes. However, as the veils of illusion are lifted from our minds, a profound sweetness emerges, beckoning our attention towards the depths of our hearts. In this inward journey, we encounter a presence both substantial and weightless, surpassing the superficiality of mere visual observation. It's a richness that resonates from the very core of our being, a melody echoing from the depths of our souls. As we embrace the spectrum of experiences molding us, we ignite a flame within ourselves, one that has the power to engulf our souls in a final, exhilarating blaze of joy. It's the amalgamation of colors, emotions, and transformations that fuels this fire, propelling us towards a state of revelation and profound understanding.” JoyBeautyPerceptionIllusionSelf DiscoveryRevelationInward JourneyInner RichnessTransformative ExperienceProfound Understanding Author:Rolf van der Wind
