[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Monday, September 10 2012

[Paul]

Hello all.  This is Paul and, as I read her poem without her being able to 
respond to my not-so-good analytical insight, I think she meant by getting 
behind is that there possibly was a reference to the fact that sometimes, if 
not in all cases, that it takes some of us twice as long to complete a task 
than a sighted person would need regarding time to complete it.  Now we 
don't know if she was totally blind all her life, but, if she was sighted in 
her early years, maybe there could possibly be a veiled reference to getting 
behind.  Anyway just my two cents worth.  Paul
