Lou's Diary
A little prince, not quite like the others

Hello, I am a little boy who only sees right with his heart...
Which doesn't make my parent's daily life any easier. So I'm blind and different (mentally speaking).

Welcome to Lou's blog

This blog was born in french during autumn 2003 and is now progressively being translated in your language.

New articles will therefore appear on a regular basis.

DISCLAIMER

... my apologies to the people who hadn't understood this yet, all articles on this website are created and written by myself (his dad).

Lou is currently unable to do it,, just like he is to this day unable to grasp the concept of a "computer", "internet", or to focus for a long period of time on a conversation. Only time will tell us if we manage to integrate him completely in the world in which he lives.

Therefore all stories, despite relating actual facts, are obviously biased by my interpretation of his behavior. But having known him for over five years, I don't think I'm getting it wrong.

105. Colours without seeing them ! (colours 2)

Josée Andréï ; la femme aux cheveux d'or

As amazing as it may sound, colours have meaning for blind people !
My parents for example know a sweet blind person who loves to wear a red sweater because it's "warm and flashy".
So despite appearances colours have codes : cold, warm, flashy, discreet, etc...
You seeing people tend to forget that kind of perceptions !
We can nonetheless "feel" the colour of our clothes by the way they absorb sunlight : try wearing black and standing in the sun on a hot summer and you'll see ! The opposite is also true for white.

Speaking of which, attached is a picture of a painting that decorates the living room of my house. This painting was made by a blind belgian shaman / artist living in California (Josée Andréa). She paints "by touching" and picks her colours by "feeling". In the case of this particular painting, the hair is golden blond. This was specifically chosen by JosÈe.
And truly it is an astounding colour : it changes from "gold" to "blond" according to the light.

Just goes to show that you can see things without seeing them !

Hello, Loulou! I loved your painting! And the painting by the blind woman is beautiful. You're right about colors and the way they feel. People with sight don't often think about colors in that way. Except maybe in the case of wearing black in the hot sun! lol Hope you and your family are doing well and had a great weekend! Kisses, sweetheart!

G'day Lou, How are you mate? I have told you about my blind nephew Mick, well he can tell what colours are by touching them, eg clothes, paper, paintings etc, he feels the energy and about 60% of the time he is correct with his answer. The world speaks to us in mysterious ways. Love Kathy xooxo
