One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for her continuous talk. Distracted(心烦意乱的) by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard herconstant words, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter(收银台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then carefully went into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”

“But what dose he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”

“Can’t see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.
