Dear Jody, Recently I was at Sea World San Diego. They have a "Trainer for a Day" program, wherein the participants spend the day with the dolphin, whale, and sea lion trainers, learning the fundamentals of care and training, getting to get in the water with some of them. Judging from the assistance given to one participant in walking from point to point, I'd say she was blind. I admired her courage and verve tremendously. And she was having a great time. If you've ever known someone who is differently abled, you know how easy it can be to hide out in safe places, safe routines. For all of us, only when walking the razor's edge becomes a dance do we express our whole nature. Blessings, Ryunen ------------------------ Yahoo!
