Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. 'Nothing in particular,' she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.

NB: Helen Keller was deaf-blind.
i wanted to make ceviche, but wasn't ready to "cook" fish in lime juice without any heat... this is what happened.
Place 2 trout/pink fish fillets onto enough aluminum foil to fold over.
Top with:
Dijon mustard
5 cloves of garlic, corsely chopped
1 fist of broccoli (cut stalk into thin slices and florets into chestnut-size pieces)
1 onion sliced into thin rounds
Fold over aluminum and cook on BBQ - careful not to OVERCOOK the fish.
Chop:
2 ripe tomatoes
1 cup of cilantro
Combine and add:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
Lots of ground pepper
Serve together on brown rice. With steamed kale?
