Wow! What a joyous, radiant being you are, Laurie Rubin!
I wonder if you have ever read the book by Jacques Lusseyran 2who was blinded at age 8 but went on to be the most trusted screener of candidates for the largest resistance group in France in ww2. Fascinating look at "light"
I suspect that synesthesia is innately all of ours but we kind of atrophy
Will look for your records!
