One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my
husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of
the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted
nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was
doing all the talking. I admired his patience for putting up with her
continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.
I met with them several times as I moved through the
different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved
away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making
a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man
reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a
long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.
"He's a brave man.," the clerk at the counter
said, "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.
During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as
before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show."
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked. "He
can't see."
"Can't see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you
or I do," the clerk said. "His wife describes each painting so he can
see it in his head."
I learned something about patience, courage and love that
day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without
sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his
life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk
away.
