B is for Being Blind.
Dear
Diary,
After a lot of deliberation
I have realized that sighted people are in actual fact blind. Often things
which are right in front of our eyes appear invisible to us. We rarely stop to think
about the god-given gift of Sight, or use our eyes to admire God’s beautiful
creation.
I had the good
fortune of meeting a visually challenged lady who in spite of being visually handicap
had an exceedingly positive outlook on life. She showed me how in spite of being sighted I’m
still blind to the wonders of the world because I don’t stop to notice the
beauty in small things.
Our lives are so bogged
down by work, education, social commitments that we fail to remove five minutes
every day, to just look around and see the beautiful world, that God had made in
all his splendor and glory.
Try looking at
everything around you with a new light. See the fine details in small things;
admire the colors and their shades, appreciate the little things you get, and
discover something new in everything.
Leaving
you with a personal favorite quote from Yann Martel’s ‘Life Of Pi’
Nature
can put on a thrilling show, the stage is vast, the lightning is dramatic, the
extras are innumerable, and the budget of special effects is absolutely unlimited.
Enjoying
it thoroughly,
The
Sunday Visitor.

What wonderful and inspired writing I find here! You are so absolutely right that we tend to take vision for granted and don't realize or appreciate what a gift it is. It's important to stop and see the beauty in things... color, texture, shape, facial expressions, etc. I will definitely back to read more of you're writing, this was an encouraging read, and I like those!
