Dialogue in the Dark
I always tell people, that I am not afraid of death as much as losing my sights... if i lost my sights, i would rather die. I will not be able to trust, and believe in my world. I can lost my sense of hearing, or speech, but i need my sense of sight to assure me of what is happening around me.
Today, we were given the chance to experience what the visual impairments experience.. in "Dialogue in the Dark" located in Ngee Ann poly for FREE!! seriously, its a very unique experience...
Basically our tour guide is visually impair, and the 8 of us go through this whole journey in a pitch dark room, our cane, and yah... into different places... what i can remember of is a forest / park / garden, with tress, leaves, waterfall, bench to sit, hearing the sound of birds, insects, animals... and moving on to even sitting on a boat, going through Singapore River etc.. water splashing on us included!! then to the city, with atm machines, public phones, cars, bicycles, crossing the roads, store selling herbs... we even went to the cafe, bought drinks, had a chat etc... it was fun... oh... btw the whole journey was in complete darkness so im nt sure wat color is the color etc. everything is black... :)
well, certainly it gave me another insight of what their world is all about, and through this, i learn how to "see" from my heart. Its just like we dun see Jesus, but we "see" him through our heart. It takes alot of alertness, trust, and believing.. its all about feeling, if not, touch / smell / taste / hear. I'm impressed in how they live through everyday.
Frankly, throughout the whole experience, i used my sense of hearing the most, listening to the voices of my friends, trying to hear where they are etc. 2ndly, is sense of touch. but hearing is the most essential one for me. and i asked myself, since i cannot "see" Jesus, have i been listening to him as attentively? Did i try so hard to hear him, and "see" him from my heart?
well, met up with Pastor Gary after that and what else can I say except that it is truly eventful and resourceful! it is weird to say this, but i love accounting to him... He's like my mentor, and everytime I speak to him, I learn so much.. :) Thank You Pastor Gary, and of course, Thank You Boyfriend!! :) Now i'm so much clearer of what my next steps should be... so much thinking, planning, praying (hear God hear God hear God!) and enjoying every single moments of it.. =)
p/s: I'm having tummy ach and i tink its Mac that's causing it!!
Last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE!!
Universal Studio SOON! :D
