One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet
21 of the splendid artwork.
A young
22 viewing the paintings ahead of me
23 nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man’s
24 for putting up with her
25 stream of words.
26 by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved
27 the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a
29 when the couple approached the
30 . Before they left, the man
31 into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He
32 it into a long stick and then
33 his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a
34 man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in
35 there is a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see! You’re
36 . He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife
37 each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience,
38 and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without
39 and the courage of a husband who would not
40 blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.
