I have no idea about my eyes but was touched by the quiet gentleness

The 2 specialists seem to have opposite ideas.

Still pondering them and waiting to talk with

the ones I have known for years.

One thing I keep coming back to though, in the new 

specialist I saw, who did confirm that it is not

the one thing I was worried about.

***

The thing I keep coming back to though is this.

The gentleness.  

It's so rare I find.

He had just looked at my eyes again (slit eye test) and my glasses

were on the table that moves that I could not seem them

and here merely said, 'I understand' and gave me my glasses

and it was such a gentle kind action;

my prescription is past -10 and that he understood that I really 

could not see where my glasses were

and got them for me;

the kindness and understanding all in one

movement,

that I keep coming back to.

and got a few more DE Stevenson books out).
