Great things about being blind. Learning always learning.

As I create my one woman storytelling show, I am learning so much.  Learning about creating a full show of integrated stories.  Learning about the way I tell stories and things I can do to improve myself as a storyteller.  But, also learning some surprising things.  I never knew how super man holds his arms up when he flies.  I thought they would be straight out to the side.  I never knew how tight rope walkers did what they do.  I always forget how far away people can see things.  Much further than those of us who are blind can hear things or people.  I am glad that I am forever learning and learning and learning.

Great things about being blind. Learning to sign.

Okay, I don't mean learning to sign as in sign language although I have attempted that too. Learning to sign my name. It was tricky. Every morning in grade eight we practiced it. I was told how to make each line using an empty braille cell for orientation. K for example is straight up the left side of the cell, back down to the middle, up to the right on a slant. Back to the mddle on the left, then down on a slant to the bottom right. Make sense? It did to me. Tomorrow, learning to type.
