I usually explore with my husband or daughter to act as a sighted guide. They find flora for me to touch. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen I had some vision, they would point out fauna-a deer, or a bird taking flight. At those times, I was lucky to see the white of a retreating deer or hear the sound of wings in flight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen I became totally blind, I developed my senses of touch, hearing, smell and taste to see the world.\u003cbr\u003eI incorporated visual memories to complete the picture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter two hip replacements, I could no longer walk the woods I loved.

I found there are many ways to enjoy nature, such as using your hands to explore, along with your other senses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Reflections\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRain distorts the reflection in the pane.\u003cbr\u003eI contemplate my twisted hold on reality.\u003cbr\u003eMemory of the visual world changes with age, \u003cbr\u003ereforming like a deck of shuffled cards.\u003cbr\u003eThe rain forms tears from heaven.\u003cbr\u003eThey water our souls and spirits.\u003cbr\u003eI take a card to see what memory is on top.\u003cbr\u003eBuilding a story around the thought.\u003cbr\u003eThat story is my new reality.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353580454137,"sku":"9798543672402","price":10.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/EIv-BePOZn9798543672402_1adaa61a-62c0-4085-b535-cd723f1bbf85.webp?v=1769825250","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/leaf-memories-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
