Throughout my journey with blindness, I have learned many lessons.
Lessons that could be applied not only to my sight loss but to grief, relationships, and even to God.
While learning to navigate the world without my sight using a white cane, one of the first techniques I was taught was how to use my ears.
At street crossings, I was instructed on how to pay close attention to the sounds of traffic. By doing so, I could determine whether traffic was flowing, the direction the cars were moving, and if it was safe for me to cross the street.
