He hadn’t been anything but sullen, withdrawn and depressed for months. This was quite a change for him, but it was also something that he actually wasn’t thinking about. His thoughts revolved entirely around her questions and showing her how he viewed the world. Granted, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to get her to entirely see how it was for him because she would still be able to fall back on her sight. But, maybe, he would be able to help her get a better understanding of how it was like to be completely without sight.
He felt her coming up beside him but it was her words of trusting him that seemed to heighten his sense of worth, at least for in that very moment. “Reach out your front paw and touch the rock I know you saw me finding,” he told her, moving closer so that his side was against hers. He did this so that he could help guide her if needed. “Feel it with your paw and imagine never having seen one before.” He fell silent for a few moments to give her a chance to feel the rock. “Now imagine the sun’s warmth as light. And that light is surrounding the small rock. Imagine the coolness that comes with night being darkness. Imagine that cool darkness surrounding the warm, lighted rock.” There really was a point to this!
He waited for another couple of moments to give her a chance to try to imagine the things he was telling her to. His tail continued to sway behind him, and, surprisingly, the small smile remained on his face. “That is what I was taught that the stars look like from afar. That is what I imagine you see when you look up at the stars in the night sky.”
