Today's homeschool lesson is writing and drawing with their eyes closed. The reason I'm doing this lesson is for the children to understand the perspective of the blind. Now I do understand that the blind do things completely differently. I believe they use braille to read and write. I want them to see what can come out when they can't see. I'm not sure what blind people see if they see darkness or light. This lesson was inspired by Stevie Wonder because he created music without his vision. One of the greatest songs written by him is These Three Words. Society had become blind to love. People are walking around with pure hatred inside, blind to others. Our vision has become clouded and selfish. We became the very people that we didn't want to be, which is darkness. However, something beautiful can be born through the darkness if we allow it. We say that we have the love of Yah or God in us but we sure have a poor of way showing it to each other. If a blind man who has never seen the rising of the sun except maybe in the image of his mind can create a song about the importance of family and love, how much more can we do while we have the opportunity to use our vision? Let's create beauty and love daily and tell someone they are important and they are loved, with caution of course. Who knows that person you speak to you may be talking someone off their blind ledge. Im going to leave with this quote today, may you all be blessed and have a good day, and lastly have I provoked thought today?๐น
