Hello, suzanne: I have to preface this post by saying it is the very first I've ever done. The title drew my eye as I was busy doing something else on collarme. Although I have never been blindfolded for that length of time, what "Have you ever been lead by Master's words and not your eyes" brought to mind was "YES! I have been drawn in by honeyed words and promises, only to ignore the truth of what was staring me in the face...what a moron I am.". This, of course is with regard to *internet* life. (YIKES!). If I could draw a parallel between what you mean and the phenomenon I immediately thought of, I would say that to choose your steps while blindfolded would not leave you only Master's voice by which to be guided: One assumes you would have at least previously seen the work space prior to the loss of sight...and if not, you have been in *some* kitchen before--you know the feel of a countertop, of a stove, of the difference between tile and carpet. You know the smell of something burning. (Let's hope it never comes to that, eh?). You know sounds---can opener, toaster. It is the addition of Master's voice to your own senses that makes it delicious--like so many things. Not like its of any interest, but when I was a little girl, I used to close my eyes and try to walk though my house. A room I had been in countless times before was suddenly a deathtrap. A stray Lego was agony. A mis-measured space between you and a table-edge could put out your eye. That too, was great fun, in and of itself. Add the "unknown" part of a game of Marco Polo--with voices calling out "Polo!" to your "Marco!" and it sounds wonderful, indeed. That being said, I have come out of my synical stupor with regard to perfidity and lies--and at least for a moment, remembered the magic of being lead by Master's voice. Thank you.
