Loved hearing the blind man's accent!
Beautiful and touching. And a grand attestation to the Power of Words.
Stunning ... Thank you.
hum, definitely makes you think. I liked this quite a lot.
That was wonderful. Will pass it on to others . Thank you for sharing it

Orannia, it is haunting.
love it had to share on facebook
