Behold Blind Beauty
(an inner dialogue about blindness and beauty)
How does a blind person define Beauty?
If they were born blind,
How would they define Beauty?
Better yet, How do I define Beauty?
Beauty is what I find pleasant, what stirs my center silly.
And what about Beauty stirs me so?
I don’t know. I know it when I see it.
Yes, because I am lucky to see it. . . but what of the blind?
If that is how I define it, then they could never know it.
…
And still a blind person can know Beauty,
and perhaps theirs is a more honest point of view,
Because the beauty they witness
is the beauty of action
ringing true.
