Hi! Welcome. I’m Matthew. I’ve been blind since the age of 21. I’ve come to love life for its sound. The sound of children on the playground, the sound of a dog gently snoring, the sound of profound stillness. All of life has music in it, even a dissonant traffic jam. It’s just about how to listen.
People who listen to life’s sound and hear it for the music that it is, perhaps people like you and me, become very attuned instruments of a great symphony. We are able to laugh with abandon, travel with courage, dance with gusto — well actually I can’t really dance for beans, but the laughing I got down, I swear!
The more we listen, the more we hear. The secrets of the universe are revealed to us. How to live from the heart, how to tune in to the life beyond life, how to do laundry without losing a sock. Sometimes I think that’s the hardest one.
I hope you enjoy this site as much as I plan to enjoy creating it. Please leave comments or get in touch with me directly. I would love to hear from you!
with love and gratitude,
Matthew VanFossan
