Dion

Grenada (2)

Our hotel suggested

if I like massage

(is there anyone besides

my friend Marion who doesn’t?)

that I call a blind masseuse

named Dion for an appointment.

(The only appointment

I made.) He came to our

room, told me he went blind

at 6 years old. Then he became

a Calypso singer. Singing,

he met a doctor

from a Hawaiian medical school

who started a program to

teaching blind people massage.

Grenada has many. Dion

(I had two massages), a friend now,

said life is about karma,

and energy. “I see when

I touch,” he said. “And

I believe in people too.”
