Blind Ride

I was the first passenger in the jeepney that was parked outside the mall. As passengers were getting inside the vehicle, I was struck at this blind man joining us in our ride home. No one assisted him as he settled in his seat but he was able to sit comfortably. I do not know if he was completely blind. The only thing i noticed was his spotless eyes and his shirt that tells me he works as a reflexologist in the mall.

I was curious how we will find his way home. I thought that he will tell the guys seated beside him to give him a cue upon reaching the place he was going to but he did not. I reached my destination before he did.

I wonder now how it feels like to go on a blind journey. Does it feel the same if you can really see? This reminds of the lyrics of  the theme song from Mahogany: Do you know where you'r going to?
