“When I Close My Eyes, I See All Different Colors”

The Daily Kina

Child turns to the kaleidoscope of her eyelids while she walks with Daddy to get the bike on a cloudy morning

She closes her eyes and tells me to let her know if anything is in her way. She walks alongside me and calls out the colors behind her eyelids: blue, violet, blue, burgundy. She turns left with me, and I tell her the the road ahead is straight and clear, and it is burgundy. Blue again, then left into the parking garage and down the ramp, violet.
