Why am I Feeling Everything So Deeply Now?

Lately, I’ve noticed something… different. Something big, and quiet, and real.
I’ve been hearing the birds more clearly. Feeling the rain more deeply. Sitting with the sound of thunderstorms, letting the music wrap around me like a soft blanket.

And the truth is—I never used to notice all this. Before, it was just, “Oh, the birds are singing. That’s nice.” And I’d move on.
But now?
Now it feels like everything is speaking directly to me.

I’ve asked myself, what’s going on with me? Why am I suddenly feeling so much?

And maybe… just maybe… it means:

  • I’m becoming more present.
  • I’m healing in ways I didn’t realize.
  • I’m waking up spiritually.
  • I’m letting myself feel… without rushing through it.

This isn’t just about nature or music or mood. It’s about me.
It’s about something inside me shifting. Softening. Opening.
And it feels like I’ve found a new part of myself that was waiting quietly in the background all this time.

I love this part of me.
And I want to keep listening.

Where We Are in the Season
It’s August 4th, and we’re moving through the later part of summer.
The light is still golden, the air still warm, but there’s a change happening—slow, soft, and deep. Nature is winding down. Even the birds have started to grow quiet.

And somehow… that silence speaks to me too.

And maybe that’s the lesson of this late summer silence:
That when we become still, when we lean into the quiet instead of running from it… we begin to hear what life has been whispering to us all along.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” —Psalm 46:10
“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” —Ram Dass

I’m listening now.
And I don’t ever want to stop.

What I'm still seeing With Out eyes, part 2.

Chapter 4 Last night, the reddish-orange light was so bright, so intense, it filled everything. I couldn’t even tell when I’d closed my eyes—the usual dark reddish-brown I expect was nowhere to be found. It was just light, bold and burning, like a fire behind my eyelids. By morning, the world inside me had settled. The brightness faded back into its usual heavy grey, with slow-floating yellow shapes drifting through the fog. And now, as I sit quietly, the darker reddish-brown edges have returned—faint but grounding—like the calm after a storm. Right now, I see yellow floaters swimming lazily through that grey space, with a soft peach tint in the background. It’s quiet, gentle, almost dreamlike. People ask me, “What are you up to?” It’s a casual question. A way to check in. And I answer casually too—“Oh, just chilling. Writing on my disability page. Sipping some coffee.” It’s true, but it’s not the full truth. What I don’t say is that while I sip that coffee, I’m watching y...

A brighter Pinkish Purple.

Image
It’s now a brighter pinkish purple—so bright, I can almost feel a bit of heat coming from it, like sunshine is beaming straight into my eyes. But there is no sunshine. There’s no light in the room. There’s no glow in the sky. There are no eyes on my face. That’s right—I’m totally blind. And yet, here it is. A radiant, glowing pinkish purple filling my inner world. It’s not just a color—it’s an experience. It shines from inside, with a reddish hue gently edging its way back into view. It’s soft, yet strong. Beautiful, and somehow alive. No one else can see this color—but to me, it’s so real I can feel it. Some people say blindness is darkness. But today, it’s pinkish purple. And it’s glorious.   Brilliant hot pink, Morning Coffee, and Yellow floaters. It’s late in the day, but I’ve been up on and off—lingering in bed, eating a late breakfast, and listening to The Right Time by Danielle Steel. And all the while, one thing has stayed with me: a brilliant, almost overwhelming...

Why Should I Have To Serve in Jewry Duty When I Can't See?

Lately, I’ve been getting so frustrated. The court keeps sending me letters, pushing me to serve jury duty—even though I’ve already submitted a doctor’s letter saying that I am totally blind, hearing impaired, and on disability. My doctor even wrote that I’m unable to participate due to my medical condition. But apparently, that’s not enough. She didn’t go into every single detail. Why? Because she legally can’t—HIPAA protects my private medical information. And now the court is rejecting her letter because it doesn’t spell out every little thing, like I owe them some full-body explanation to be believed. Let me be clear: I am totally blind. I have no eyes. I also live with hearing loss. I rely on sound cues, memory, my hands, my other senses—every day. And it’s exhausting sometimes, even in familiar places. Now imagine being called into a courtroom, where everything depends on seeing: Who stood up to speak? What kind of gesture did they just make? Who are they pointing ...
