It was really important and thought-provoking for me. Have you heard about a new software called OrCam? They are a bit expensive, but they offer vision assistance for <a href="http://www.orcam.com/httpwww-orcam-comblogdiscovering-orcam-liberating-feeling/" rel="nofollow">partially sighted people</a>. I highly recommend you check them out! They've really changed everything for my brother.

The subject of color by itself is one of those topics many of us struggle with especially for those who have never had vision as it's an abstract concept. I agree with Audrey on your use of parallels with the positive qualities you chose and I think it's remarkable. Thank you for this it really spoke volumes to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707181305058173238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947569688745853505.post-49455656136538045692014-07-05T07:39:48.780+10:002014-07-05T07:39:48.780+10:00Hey Jennifer, lovely to welcome you to my blog!
