[Blindtlk] a question about getting lost

[Michelle Medina]

I don't view it as a bad thing.
My cane teacher said do it yourself first, ask for help later. If
you're doing it yourself first, which you said you are, you aren't
automatically running for help I'd say you're doing well!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
