Sunday we attended our daughter’s high school’s production of Disney’s Beauty & the Beast.
Seated only a few rows back this picture even in life size scale was only a living blur of changing colors and shapes to Patti’s MS vision.
Unlike a mega screen at a movie, live theatre for Patti is experienced without the benefit of costumes, sets, and characters.
Talking with able bodied and able visioned people after the play, I was impressed by a remark I overheard Patti make in conversation, “Just because I can’t see it, doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it. I hear too well ... plus I always have my imagination!”
Just being able to read this computer screen I know I too often let my sight trap my 'focus'.
“You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” Mark Twain
that is so true :) have a great thursday:)

wow, I'm impressed at the props, stage and costumes for a high school production! Awesome! Was your daughter in the production? I like Patti's attitude. How often we do forget we have more than one way to view the world.
