[Faith-talk] blindness as a gift

[justin williams]

I've just never been partial to the blindness is bliss; open minded is good,
but I like to no the same things everyone else knows so I can be on the
level.  Give me the information, and let me decide whether I use it and how
I do so.  You are right; everyone deserves the respect due to any human
crack head or no.

Hi there,
Yes I agree with you also. I do know and understand being blind all the
trappings that go along with it that are frankly a pain in the butt :-)

However, people can speak to me whatever crackheads are bombs or whatever at
the bus terminal and I don't look at them in a foul way. Because I can't see
them.
I speak to them with respect and honor just as I would anyone else that
wasn't a bummer crackhead.

I can even ignore if they're drunk or if they're hi, because unfortunately,
radar years will tell us all :-) But for some reason. Not being able to see
others on the outside. Makes us able to love people in the way that they
have never been loved before on the inside.

I know, I have dated some of the most ugly people in the free world at least
physically I mean LOL Anyhow, it's wonderful to be educators it's wonderful
to be able to spread the word about braille  materials etc.
I wouldn't get my site if You paid me.
I was able to let some priest now about braille Orthodox materials that
nobody knew about.
It was wonderful to be able to share that with them then they spread the
word. In fact, the priest that I shared that with one of them knew a few
blind people that didn't have braille  materials.




And sometimes. Literally. Blindness is bliss.

I never would have if I were sighted.  It's been my privilege from time to
time to get to encourage people who are struggling.  They will sometimes
listen to us when they won't listen to somebody who appears to have no
weakness or disability.  I love your dog's name, by the way.  I'm hoping to
be in the July class at Seeing Eye for a dog, as mine retired.    Blessings,
Debby
