Unlike my sense of hearing, I am usually conscious of my sense of sight. Sadly, I am often conscious of it because I am annoyed: my glasses are dirty or I cannot get the right part of my trifocals lined up with whatever it is that I am trying to see. Often I am peering through a viewfinder, composing a photo or peering at a computer screen, editing a photo.
Why? Because I like seeing the pictures. Just for fun, here is one of my favorites.
Seeing lets me read and write with more ease than I would were I visually impaired.
Seeing lets me gaze contentedly at the people I love.
