The Color of Colors
For 51 years Bob Edens was blind. He couldnt see a thing. His world was a black hall of sounds and smells. He felt his way through five decades of darkness. And then, he could see. A skilled surgeon performed a complicated operation and, for the first time, Bob Edens had sight. He found it overwhelming. “I never would have dreamed that yellow is so yellow,” he exclaimed. “I dont have the words. I am amazed by yellow. But red is my favorite color. I just cant believe red. I can see the shape of the moonand I like nothing better than seeing a jet plane flying across the sky leaving a vapor trail. And of course, sunrises and sunsets. And at night I look at the stars in the sky and the flashing light. You could never know how wonderful everything is.”
