An Invitation to Pause, Encounter & Grow Together.
Author’s note: While reading at a local coffee spot, I noticed an interactive woman, obviously known by many. Her gentleness among the hustle and bustle was noteworthy. J.K.
Her face shines truth she cannot hide.
Her sightless world alive,
XXXXvibrant with sounds, smells,
XXXXtastes and touches.
“Mmmm…some choices are just tough.”
She awaits lunch with family
after her ear-cleaning outing
and she glows.
She is grateful.
She is every movement grace
among the sighted bustle and noise;
Murmurs to herself after a surprise greeting,
“Oh she is so sweet.”
She smiles toward the window where sunlight slips in
accenting the glint in her eye.
“I’m glad we came out today, so glad.”
As her son walks away to claim their order,
Her eager voice follows,
“Shall I take off my jacket?”
