Today I have 9 am class, which is relatively earlier for my schedule. I try and set an alarm as close to that as I can and still make it to class on time. So, this morning I launched out the door wearing my glasses, which has become an irregular event for me. For those of you that wear glasses, you understand the loss of peripheral vision that results from looking through the two pieces of glass resting on the bridge of your nose and your ears. While you can see outside the rims of your glasses, it is nearly impossible to simultaneously focus through both lenses at once. I believe this holds whether you are near-sighted or far-sighted.
After class, on my way to the library I was scrolling through my iPod looking for a song to play when I completely missed a step in front of me. Usually, I don’t I try and avoid using this blog to try and write on deep life issues. That just is not my forte. I can’t help but think about how the lenses that we use to navigate through our lives help us see and prevent us from seeing other things at the same time. Without my glasses, I would have an interesting time getting around London. But with them, my gaze focused on one object, I missed out on something else going on.
And hitting that step hurt.
