Sound and Vision.

I love the way my eyes refocus when the lights are turned off, so that all I see are a kaleidoscope of colors.
I love exploring blind spots and visual distortions. 
I love closing my eyes into my pillow when I'm in bed and seeing floating neon shapes. 
I love looking at one color and seeing twelve within.
I love seeing rainbows be reflected into the most unexpected objects, such as a wine glass. 
I love seeing fabrics fold and drape, creating new dimension and telling new stories.
I love getting lost in fabric prints and paint textures. 
I love old photographs where the darkest colors are tinted blue and everything looks distorted. I wish we saw things this way. 
I love looking into static air and space, and seeing how the air even comes to life as a sort of visual fuzz. But maybe that's just me.

I would much rather be deaf than blind. I prefer staring into the sun over hearing a foghorn.

I love exploring my world through vision. I feel like a visual world can say far more than a verbal world ever could, and it's a beautiful thing.

Is this an Aspie thing? I used to spend hours as a kid "watching the color channel" at night when I couldn't sleep, and my parents couldn't figure out what I was talking about.
