... in order to see.
- Paul Gauguin
What do you see when you shut your eyes?
* * *
Thinking of Paul Gauguin always reminds me of another "movie that made an impact," Goodbye Columbus. If you know the connection between Gauguin and this book and/or movie, I can tell that you've read the book or seen the movie as many times as I have.Perhaps I'll write of it sometime.

If more people would shut their eyes, they would see with their hearts.

YOur blog is great. I am going to list your blog and that movie in my silly blog.
Hey, that looks like Cuba!!! Wow.
When I close my eyes, I see a kaleidoscope of purple and red on a black background. I think it is Kundalini energy.
Yup, I am weird.

(I'll describe it as being on a rollercoaster. But without the dizziness.)
I like movie and literary trivia, but this one has me stumped. Tell us oh cravatted one!
What I usually see when I close my eyes is a negative image of what I've just been looking at. Once in a while an image will appear, not just a general watercolor sense of a memory, but a sort of characature, sometimes erotic in content, that I can contemplate as if it were floating in space.
Ok I've got it:
Paul Gauguin went to Ohio State?
Gosh this is a mystery! I emailed you about the the initials of your blog stand for.
Doesn't matter, though, because your blog is so great and thought provoking!!!
i see stars and flying pork chops
I love Gauguin colours.
When I close my eyes I see my inner life floating before me ... lustful, beautiful, sorrowful ...
