Hi Janine, and holiday blessings to you too. Here’s hoping you are well. Yes, our vision did not evolve with all this capability to only look straight ahead at a screen! 🙂 Nature may be the best vision practice of all, clouds overhead, mountains or seascapes in the distance, flowers nearby, all fascinating. Take care.

Hi Darrel, and happy 2024 to you too! Thanks for the reminder of Dr. Bates’ words. What a wise man he was! I shoveled a lot of snow today, and deliberately put myself in that “one shovel-full at a time” mindset to get it done enjoyably. So many people are fighting Reality, resisting what’s in front of them (and their eyes) instead of welcoming it and dealing with it. Life is to be savored, not pushed away! May your coming year be fulfilling, bringing you the growth and learning you hope for.

I’ve been like you’ve been, wanting to see or understand all at once, and it is so bad and self-defeating. It’s like trying to learn a new language or a musical instrument in a few days, and when we can’t we get frustrated and think we’re not up to it and there beings the downward spiral. Bates once said (“A Study of Imagination”) that, regarding someone he treated, that “The great difficulty this patient had was that he desired to remember too much at once or he desired to imagine more than two things at once. It always spoils the mental pictures when one tries to remember too much at once.” We need to take time, enjoy and we both know this. Thanks so much for this, your lovely new post, and may 2024 be a great year for your vision improvement, and for mine!
