   actually, Neo, that is "darkness", not "black" -- not exactly.

   It might be far easier to trace it than to draw it.

   That is making an assumption, but it is an interesting one.   
      
   > Does shape of objects you touch appear in your mind?   
      
   One of the Greek philosophers stated that there is, in the imagination, a   
   perfect circle.  Or something to the effect that the idea of a perfect circle   
   exists, even if one cannot be created in reality.   
      
   Neo's questions raise the idea in my mind that a blind person would "see"   
   images within his / her mind by traces of light.  Yes?  No?
