I AM BLIND BUT I SEE THE WORLD

This is an anonymous story collected from the public as part of THE WOKINGHAM ARC PROJECT.

I am curious, I am real, I am in love. I am blind but I see the world. I am disabled but I am able to create. I am of nature even when disconnected from nature. I am me, entirely.

I love the natural spaces where I can hear the birds, smell the flowers, touch the trees, taste the blackberries, see the light and relax. Home is a place of safety and love, a place where I can be truly me

I wish for true accessibility and inclusivity for everyone, everywhere without barriers or fear.

I'm a mum, wife, friend, blind wheelchair user, minister, poet and artist. I live my life mainly online, meeting others who live fully despite poor accessibility. I talk openly and campaign vociferously about faith, disability, mental health, social justice, climate change and grief.
