[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Margo, as my resource person, a guide dog user in my company once
told me when discussing the first guide gog user who got me started
with the blind, "Bill, independence requires dependence, and any
blind person who thinks they can have one without the other is
wrong". In reality, that statement applies to all, be they blind or
sighted. What I consider to be independence may differ from others,
but in each case there is a varying degree of dependence. This
statement has echoed in my mind for the past 5 years. Something to
think about.  Your thoughts will be appreciated on this one. Keep
smiling.  Love and hugs always, Bill
