For some reason this letter affected me, and will probably, in some small way change the way I think about people who are blind. A lot of thoughts rattle through my head as I think about what she said, but the fact that she could see so clearly despite her physical limitation is utterly impressive.
Here is the letter as posted on the venerable lettersofnote.com (thank you to Paul Page for bringing this site to my attention)

interesting point about not knowing how divine vision is until we have looked into darkness.
Very Profound and true.
yes....like I said this letter was amazing on a lot of levels...and you picked up on another one.
I liked this quote from her letter as well and it is one both of us can relate to.
"For imagination creates distances and horizons that reach to the end of the world. It is as easy for the mind to think in stars as in cobble-stones." HK
