The Carroll Center for the Blind
recently hosted six blind teenage mountain climbers from Tibet as part of a promotional tour for the upcoming movie
Blindsights
The movie is a gripping adventure of their 3 week climb of the 23,000 foot Lhakpa Ri on the north side of Mount Everest. The teens, all totally blind, were led by famed blind mountain climber, Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind person to summit Mt. Everest. Erik was first introduced to rock climbing by the Carroll Center while attending summer programs there over 20 years ago.
Janet LaBreck, commissioner of the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, interviews these students and their mentor, Sabriye Tenberken.

A Prayer
I WILL NOT LIVE AN UNLIVED LIFE
By Dawna Markova
I will not live an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
To allow my living to open me,
To make me less afraid,
More accessible,
To loosen my heart
Until it becomes a wing,
A torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
To live so that which came to me as seed
Goes to the next as blossom,
And that which came to me as blossom,
Goes on as fruit.
