Your Body Is Speaking
When a person comes into the world blind, their body carries a message that reaches far beyond the physical. The eyes — those organs that make the outer world accessible to us in images — remain closed, as though something deep within has decided: I need a different way of accessing reality.
This is no punishment. This is no coincidence. And it is certainly no one's fault — neither the parents' nor the child's.
It is an invitation spoken at the very moment of birth. An invitation that says: Look inward. There lies something more important than anything your eyes could ever show you.
