Oh NO! I've bled from my eye ONCE, and that was plenty for me, thank you!

In junior high, I was hit in the inside corner of the eye by a tossed stick. It cut the edge of my eyelid right by my tear duct, and also of course got me crying because it hurt. The upshot? It appeared that I was crying tears of blood.

The school nurse, something of a religious woman, freaked out when I came into the office with what I guess appeared to her to be a stigmata of sorts. She was fine, but it's quite a startling experience to walk into a room, have someone take one look at you, and then have their eyes roll back in their head.

Red Queen's Wisdom
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

William S. Burroughs

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you.

Gospel of Thomas, 70
