I think I was thinking of you, Caren, when I wrote this little tidbit.

So wise Milton, love this to the point Epigram, Sorry to hear about you having a eye problem. I lost sight in my right eye 30 years ago. Keep safe my friend. Harry

Thank you so much, harry. My grandmother lived her whole life with one eye. She lost one of her eyes while blackberry picking when she was a teenager.

Being close minded is a waste of a person's intellect. Why do I say this? Well if you don't explore and meticulously explore the flip side of any view, you succumb to an opinion that is without knowing all possibilities and in my thinking it is a Pridefull act of denial. We must always be critical thinkers, listening, and then seriously researching and proving the truth, what ever it may be. Sometimes our opinions are wrong, we don't know until we analyze through all information gathered...

Sorry to hear of your current dilemma my friend. I guess it will take a little bit of time for the healing of your eye and you will be back to your sharing of Poetic words. I wish you a speedy recovery for you and for all of us to enjoy your fine Poetry. Get well my friend...

Thank you, Michael. I really, really appreciated your thought-provoking comments on my Epigram. I'm still nursing my good eye with a patch or I would write more. If my fingers get on the wrong keys, I have to start all over again.

Selective sight, if it works in their favour they'll see it. Tom
