"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity."

The Blind Painter, Esref Armagan, asks a sighted person to draw over sketches he drew with a braille stylus, then he turns the paper over and feeling it with his left hand, he transfers what he feels onto another sheet of paper, later adding color by using his hands. Watch this for more.

"i will wade out
till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes"
