SoulSource,

A thought came to mind regarding physical blindness ... there's a Chinese saying that when the body's eyes dim, the spirit's eyes brighten.

Yes, it is natural to regard blindness (and any disease) as a problem to be fixed, and much of our resources are devoted to this worthy endeavor. At the same time, in the most enlightened view, illness can be a great teacher, and through it, we may learn what we need to.

Blessings to you and yours.
