Narrows of the Bay | vision through words
https://visionthroughwords.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/narrows-of-the-bay
Poetry and Short Essays by Visually Impaired and Blind Writers. No Face in the Mirror. Narrows of the Bay. Summer time raises its head over the salt water flats. Buoy bells ring out across the early August morn. A lone seagull cries out from atop the canning factory roof. The day’s first tide marches in through the narrows of the bay. A newspaper delivery boy pedals down through a vacant alley. One lonely car makes its way down to the docks. A church steeple stands tall, waiting for the sun. Directly fol...

For those curious about a lost dog you saw, or when your local park is hosting a clay sculpting class, or just have to know about the 12 squad cars parked outside your neighbor's house last night. An eclectic news site to find out which local won the air guitar championships, or what exhibit is causing controversy at the MCA, or an interview with the waitress who serves Rahm his breakfast every morning. Wonder why their were helicopters flying over your 'hood last night? Chicago Police Crime Stats. See w...

A Setback | vision through words
https://visionthroughwords.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/a-setback
Poetry and Short Essays by Visually Impaired and Blind Writers. No Face in the Mirror. Panhandlers on the L * raise my ire, not my compassion. One guy I encounter on the northbound Brown Line performs his tale of woe several afternoons a week. He sticks to his script. A few more rides on that train this week and I’ll hear it repeated so many times that I’ll be able to recite right along with him. My blood pressure skyrocketed. Tomorrow is the 25. Was he really blind? Darrell was lucky that I was seated n...

Poetry and Short Essays by Visually Impaired and Blind Writers. No Face in the Mirror. When Love Opened My Eyes. I lifted my head when the ring of church bells wafted toward us. Do you hear that? It must be coming from the cathedral. Yeah, I think it is, said Shaun, consulting his map. Do you want to check it out? I considered; my non-religious boyfriend had recently survived my best friend’s Catholic wedding, and I thought he’d served his penance. The church was empty save for the two of us. Was diagnos...

My Parents’ Gratitude List | vision through words
https://visionthroughwords.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/my-parents-gratitude-list
Poetry and Short Essays by Visually Impaired and Blind Writers. No Face in the Mirror. My Parents’ Gratitude List. I sometimes wonder how my parents managed to raise two children, one of whom was totally blind. Hindsight is 20/20, even when you can’t see. So now I see many things my parents must have been very grateful for as I grew up. My parents were also grateful that I liked reading. They wanted me to have an education. They also wanted me to have something to do in the back of the car during...Natur...
