Seeing with Clarity


Taiyo's eyes have taken a noticeable advancement in their ability to focus on the objects in front of him. On several occasions today, he gazed with a deeper and more penetrating expression than I had seen previously. He also is locking onto the objects in front of his face, drinking them in for long moments at a time. This seems like a road marker in his journey from a creature of sound and touch to a create of sight.

In the picture above, he ponder the inner depths of his existential modern art mobile.

Today I went out to do big grocery shopping for the first time since he was born. It felt very strange sitting in the car driving through the world. Although it had only been a few days since before he was born, it felt like a lifetime. I had to take a few minutes to really orient myself to life beyond the world Taiyo and Yoshiko had been sharing with me. I was happy to get home.
