winter paralympics

I really admire these blind competitors at the winter Paralympics, together with the blind performers at the Closing Ceremony.

I try to understand their degrees of blindness. Being totally blind is unusual, I gather, NLP (no light perception) which is how I like my blindsimming. This makes me feel ashamed and insulting to those unfortunate people who have to struggle daily to deal with their various degrees of blindness with such skill and cheerfulness. This clumsy attempt to acknowledge my feelings is totally inadequate May they forgive me, please. I would dread the possibility of being permanently partially-visioned myself and I would never be able to cope as they do.

But, brother Chris says, after all these years I must accept my odd obsession and carry on as before. I help my piano-student, I entertain my bird-watching companion and I provide Chris himself with an enjoyable diversion. Enough said, I think.
