Walking.  Eyes looking straight ahead; seeing nothing.  Squinting out the sunlight.  Feeling the sun's rays on your nearly closed eyes.  The light glowing orange through thin epithelial. Realizing sometimes one can see with one's  eyes closed.   Still too bright.   Must turn inward and look away from the light.   Now too dark.   Continue moving inward until your new eyes show you which way to go.   You will know when you reach your destination.   Do not backtrack.   Much too bright.
