“May your Mind’s Eye always see you through.”
This book is dedicated to all blind people living around the world today. It is dedicated to an idea—that what we perceive as a ‘disability’ in others might actually be an ‘enabler’ or a ‘power.’ The blind characters in this book believe in such a philosophy; that, “The eyes can see what lies before them, but the mind can see what lies beyond.” Ultimately, it’s all about mind over matter.
