As I begin my blog posts I offer my intentions for the project. As an avid journal keeper since 1975, I’m accustomed to writing down all manner of thoughts and feelings on a daily basis for my private use as well as use in poems, stories or arguments. This blog will present short, more polished versions of my daily writing that explore my process as a writer. It is the second blog I’ve created.
My first blog, DISCIPLE OF WATER, integrates photographs, poems and short essays exploring my devotion to water, especially sailing the waters of Lake Superior every summer. Sailing has fed my work as a writer and a photographer, but it has also led to a hemorrhage in my left eye in 2005 and a stroke in my right eye in 2008. Both events were misdiagnosed as optic neuritis at the time and only in December of 2008 did I learn the full extent of my vision loss, caused by AION, and its consequences, double vision. With the help of stronger lenses and prisms in those lenses, I’ve learned to adapt.
