The time before that, I was at Banana Republic in Seattle.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Years ago, when I was hustling to get to a concert, someone told me that the cause of blindness was demons. He knelt in front of me and asked if I was ready to be forgiven. He offered that I may have done evil in a past life.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Then there was the time when I was encouraged to hide my cane so I wouldn’t curse my friend’s marriage.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Now, as I recall 'Christ Healing the Blind,' I can’t help but wonder—if the blind man was partially sighted, would it still be a miracle? The words ableism, occularcentrism, visual primacy, corrective therapies and sterilization also come to mind.” Tap the link in bio to learn more about #MetAccess programs for those who are blind or partially sighted, currently offered online.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🎨 El Greco [Domenikos Theotokopoulos], (Greek, 1541–1614).
