(you made me realise the importance of life) Despite attending WISP Lessons once a week, I've never failed to not look forward to it. In this week's lesson, we had the privilege to experience the tour @ Dialogue In The Dark outside the usual classroom setting. Dialogue In The Dark is basically a journey into a World without Sight. It was founded in Germany by a renowned social entrepreneur, Dr Andreas Heinecke. Since 1988, Dialogue In The Dark has reached 30 countries, attracting over 6 million visitors and creating thousands of jobs for the visually-impaired. ~ ~ ~ ~ The Experience right at NP, Entering a room that was in total darkness; pitch black led to fear in the beginning due to the many uncertainties lying before me, and all I could rely was the walls beside me and/or the walking stick provided. However, with the guidance of our guide, Luk Man who is partially blind, I slowly felt more at ease and adapted to the things around me. ~ It was then that my sense of touch, hearing and smell overwhelmed my sense of sight like the slightest details were obvious to my senses. I could hear the different sounds/music being played. I could feel the different textures of the walls and the flooring, as well as the different scent in the atmosphere. Crossing the road at the traffic light junction and smelling the different fruits and vegetables at the market were my two favourite parts of the tour. ~ As our adventure slowly came to an end, we had the chance to rest at a coffee shop, still in the darkness, ordered drinks and had a chat with Luk Man where he shared several personal experiences that has occurred in his life. ~ Through this experience, it has thought me much more than just the gift of sight but cherishing what God has given and provided for us on our “plate” which we sometimes take for granted such as our families, friends, the food provided on the table, and the roof over your head. It was an awesome and meaningful experience! “Because in the end, who needed the most help? It wasn’t Luk Man. It was us (me).” penned by ash.
