What if


For the dreamer that I am, I often like to sneak away to a quiet place and dream a bit. So here goes.

What if I were to regain my vision?! Then what would be the first thing that I would like to lay eyes on? Maybe a church with Jesus in the manger, and Mary and Joseph close by! A church at Christmas time with flickering candles all decorated with the Nativity scene as the focus.

What would I like to see next? Maybe blue skies, puffy white clouds, a golden sun, and white-capped waves rolling gently towards a sandy beach. A blue-green ocean with boats sailing noiselessly against the horizon, butterflies gliding gently on thin air, and birds flitting from branch to branch. Brilliant colored flowers, green grass, and ice skaters skating gracefully on an ice rink. My Montreal Canadiens hockey team skating up the ice and fresh clean snow on the ground.

What if I were to awake one morning to discover that I could once again see faces, objects, and everything around me? I would be simply thrilled to death. Then what if I were to suddenly discover that I could once again see my beloved ones? Simply fantastic!

I will probably never give up hope of this. It is what keeps me going and there is absolutely nothing wrong in thinking, "What if?"!
