Blind – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Not Back to Glacier, home

Looking up at a bird on a wire — The blessing of sight. The blessing of a flexible neck. The blessing of curiosity. The blessing of presence. The blessing of appreciation. The blessing of symbiosis. The blessings of gratitude and surrender. Photo: Spring 2023, looking up at a Cardinal during a morning walk. Cardinals are generally skittish. To be directly beneath one is rare. i enjoyed it so much, the photo was taken as proof of that present moment.

If i started writing a list of all the things i’m grateful for, it would never be finished.

Hearing the Cardinal’s ‘singing’ got my attention. Expecting the Cardinal to fly away, imagine the surprise standing underneath it while it continued it’s chirping.

Be prepared. It may take decades.

Decades of moving to a peaceful core minimized anxiety. You know, the anxiety from picturing your eye ball punctured with needles.

Peaceful surrender, home

Surgery Center medical passport website screenshot — All the stuff we used to hand-write on pages with a pen, on a clipboard, and hand back to the front desk receptionist. And now…you have access via website, and you can edit it.

Surrender is gratitude’s twin sibling.

Told a client during today’s executive coaching call about accepting worst case — permanent sight loss in one eye.

This CEO said i remind him of his dad — “who had the most Grace with difficulty” — than anyone he’s ever known.

Grace begets Grace.

Thank you Mark.

No detachment

Doctor appointment card — No retinal detachment. Yet no conclusive reason for the bleeding.

Vanity lisence plate — Near the end of our hour-long drive home after Dr Kumar’s examination. Great karma. Thank you random Mickey Mouse fan.

There are many tests we all want to pass but none of us want to take. Ever.
dad

May the goodness of Dr Kumar’s team shine a healthy energy on the coming days, weeks, and months.
