Ep. 86 - Blindness, Growing up different and Blind jokes (with Gail Hamilton)
29 Aug 2021
Here in this video I talk to Gail Hamilton about being blind; how she experiences movies; how she imagines politicians to look like; blind jokes; Helen Keller; spiritual choice before birth on disabilities - her belief; practising psychotherapy; Louis Braille and his reading system for the blind and how most of them follow a pattern except the W (because W isn't in the French language); Unified English Braille and what she thinks of it; 'turn voiceover on' trick on the iPhone; growing up knowing you're different; her worsening eye-sight in kindergarten; how she imagines some actors to look like; the Dead Sea; basketball; equality; different gifts that we all have; all being about love, gratitude and knowing that everything is possible; running into a wall; having a personal assistant; 9/11; healing; being part of the Unity Church; how she can judge character based on a person's voice and my attempt to stop recording at the end, blindfolded.
