Quote preview background for Simon Van Booy
Dave once asked me what blind people dream about. Mostly in sound and feeling, I replied. At night I fall in love with a voice, and then wake to a feeling of physical loss. Sometimes I close my eyes to a chorus of __appy Birthday!_ The smell of cake and the sound of feet under the table. I awake in a body that__ too big. I also dream in motion and sensation. My father__ boat and the snore of the mast; the rough fabric of the safety harness and the rip of Velcro. The sun on my legs. And endless stretch of water impossible to imagine.
