So, when reading this quote, I was brought back to an interesting memory about a very unique documentary about disabilities. You see, the individual the documentary was focusing on was completely blind and this individual had a super strong desire to do things that people said they couldn’t do. And so, this seeing impaired individual from Brittan indicated they always wanted to fly a plane and so they showed the individual playing a flight simulator while crashing the plane every so often. However, the unseen video game spurred on a different hobby and pursuit to be able to fly; and so, the individual, with the support of a friend took up Kite flying. What was fascinating about this person kit flying was that although the kite would eventually crash and burn to the ground, at the same time the seeing impaired individual did manage to keep the kit in the air by using all of their other senses such as feeling the wind gusts, listening to their friends’ guidance to move the string up or down, and noticing the tension on the string. The outcome was that they actually managed, even if only for a few seconds, to keep the flight of the kite going.
