We all need to see for ourselves

Please drop by and leave thoughts again after seeing the Painted Bride exhibit, and checking out Perception: From Five Senses to Synesthesia and Beyond.  The point of the latter not at all that people with synesthetic abilities are "afflicted and in a psychiatric crisis."  To the contrary, synesthetic abilities offer a window into how everyone's brain works.  They provide a valuable reminder that we are all constructing "reality" all the time, that we all do it somewhat differently, and that the differences are valuable rather than something to fear or mistrust.
