The Lament

Harvest Moon Country Friday, July 12, 2002 The eyes are the window to the soul or so I have been told. And yet who among us has not seen the individual at his most impressive walking with stick or guide dog. A person who believes that they are living life to the fullest and have conquered their fears and knows the joy of that accomplishment. Eighteen years post radial keratotomy operation with its glare night and day. A moon that has eight other quarter moons that are displayed to the top left and present themselves in a downward arc, propagating in diminishing appearance until we’re back to the moon at the bottom center right. Does that make any sense to anyone else who doesn’t look through eight radial keratotomy cuts? You never know what it’s like until it happens to you. It happened to me one eye at a time.

Is it possible they could be back for a while? Thinking about the time that I was flying low over the tulip fields of Mount Vernon Washington; And I know - it was totally a no-no - but we sure were having fun and I was following a Robinson B1 RD and we were flying in formation and playing follow the leader. I had paid for a coworker to have a short introductory ride in ultralights. Arlington Washington is just down the road from Mount Vernon Washington where there are thousands of acres of tulip fields. Giant splashes of color from 1000 ft. in the air, as viewed from our ultralights. Following one of the head guys of the Robinson's B1 RD's and my coworker we headed out from Arlington Washington for a short flight to the coast and over the Mount Vernon tulip fields. The B1 banked and descended sharply and what fun that was to follow that move and in seconds we are in a low-flying formation only feet above the tulip fields. As we flew over the tulips on our right side were some l
