Diff Eyewear x Sightsavers Campaign

I’ve partnered with Diffeyewear and Sightsavers to talk about the gift of sight and raise awareness about #worldsightday. Sight savers have fundamentally protected the gift of sight for others and for some have RESTORED it!
Whether we are fully aware of it or not, I think we often forget that the ability to see is a beautiful gift and I want to take a moment to appreciate it. 
Here’s a little poem I wrote about the gift of sight and if you listen to the video you can follow along!


Everyday that we are able to open our eyes 
and experience the world around us is a gift

Everyday that our eyes can close only to take in a deep breath
Or rest and start again when the sunrises or the exhale escapes
[⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀]
We take advantage of our ability 
to taste, touch, hear, smell and see the world around us 
Knowing all the colors in a sunset
Knowing that the ocean in its vastness is blue and it’s shores honeyed sand 
We often forget of the curves of the wrinkles behind a deep laughter
Or valley sweep of a child's thick dimple
 
What if we closed our eyes for a day, 
What if for a moment we finally realized the gift of sight 
Took in each glance like savoring every bit of sweetness that life has to offer
What if we stopped for a moment
And finally realized what beauty lies before us
