Blind

I forget that I am blind
When I think I am seeing in technicolor, the full picture is when I am at risk
Of being blindsided
Of assumptions
Of arrogance
Of forgetting
Of missing moments, people, truth

The blindness I am in is a key
To opening up
To walking through
To not getting stuck
There is always more to see, to find, to learn

Knowing I am blind makes curiosity a friend and uncertainty a possibility
Blindness means I cannot hold on to anything I can see
Only to a hand that holds mine back

Blindness is connection
Blindness is trust
