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.

(Picture from the library, where I went afterwards
and got a few more DE Stevenson books out).

My eye doctor has the same qualities, and that gentle attentiveness can make such a difference in difficult times.
