Stephen Kuusisto is an American poet best known for his work depicting disability. Stephen grew up feeling inferior because he was blind. For him, vision consists of a kaleidoscope of shapes, colors, and shadows. When he’s alone, he likes to stick his face to the pages of a book and try hard to memorize street names so he looks like someone who can see clearly, not like he really is.
When he was 39 years old, his life changed after he got a trained and loyal guide dog named Corky. While learning to use Corky as a guide, Stephen reflects on the trust that has grown in their relationship. He said, “Confidence grows from trust which develops into belief, then into certainty. We are both a great team!” When Stephen admits that he needs the help of a friend who can see, a new world opens up that gives him freedom of movement he’s never experienced before.
Many believers stumble like blind people while living the life because they rely on their own strength. They seem unaware that God has provided a supernatural Guide to guide their path. God said that He would send a Comforter who would lead us into all truth.
