TIGERS!!!!

Yesterday I was in my 'local' (well, it is about 70-80 km from where I live) zoo. Haven't been there for years, and one of the new things they have got is tigers (Big cats are nor normal in Norway, these are the only ones in the contry). Anybody who know half of my love for tigers can guess how exited I was. And they were utter beautiful, so careless, so in charge.
But I was in the zoo with my moms ( and for the occation mine) job, my mom is a teacher and one of the classes she works with are people with certain 'problems' (There are only two of them, both are blind, one has cancer on his brain and the other one has a syndrom that makes her age very quikly (I do not remember it's name), she is 20 and apear to be 80) . And that day made me realise two things, how much we really need our sence of sight and how lucky I am to have mine perfectly fine. I am lucky enough to be the only one in my family without glasses, and I don't need them (yet, my genes point the other way though), but as long as I have some sence of sight I'll be happy. This is quite directly linked with the tigers: one of the reasons I like tigers so much is that they are so beautiful, the whole way they look. That is the way I feel about a lot of things, fullmoon, flowers, art, people, I appriciate beauty (why is another and longer story) and not being able to veiw beauty seems like hell to me. Some times I think I am more lucky than I know or deserve.
