Finding each other

Try finding a blind person when you yourself are blind and you are in for some fun and great learning experiences.

First of all, we cannot see each other. We cannot see each other approaching, nor can we spot each other in a crowd or in a room, mall, store, or anywhere else for that matter. We can easily walk by each other without even knowing it or sit next to each other without even knowing it unless we speak to each other.

We cannot wave to each other. We cannot smile at each other and we cannot make eye contact with each other. So how do we find each other? By making sure that we are at the same place at the same time. By calling out for each other and by ensuring that we get our signals straight.
