Blind Cat

Looking at this cat and the way it was starring at me brought to my mind that Aerosmith's song I met a blind man, who taught me how to see. Don't know why. The truth of the matter is that the cat had some kind of intense look, even though one of the eyes was blind. But blind cats, just like blind people sometimes see more than someone who's eyes function perfectly. Losing on sense usually leads us to perfect the other senses. If you can not see, you will focus on your hearing ability. If you can not hear well, than you will focus on your sight or touch. Going further deep, you can simply perfect the use of that extra sense. The one that you have no matter whether you are blind, deft, unable to smell, or unable to walk. The sense that makes blind all other senses when you have the ability to listen to it. It was not a blind man who taught me this. It was more than one person. But I knew it all along. I have experienced it and thus learned it. It is the sense that I trust the most: the "gut feeling", or as I prefer to call it "the inner voice". You are only as blind as you allow yourself to be.
