The First Time
Can you imagine what it must be like to see or hear for the first time? How absurd, and clean, and pure it must seem? Going all your life without knowing it, without even knowing how it is, and suddenly, it's just there for you. And you can be just like everybody else - in that sense - although it will probably always be different for you anyway. The colors, the different tones in music. Seeing for the first time, whatever it is that you see, must be beautiful. The first movie, the first dog on the street, the first time looking in the mirror. And hearing a song, hearing someone's voice, after you've spent 10 years hearing silence or interference. It must be like 10 thousand epiphanies at once. I had never imagined it, until I saw it. And it was amazing.
