Here's there come rain or shine, with his little tin coffee cup held in the one hand and in the other his blind man's cane. He nods and gives a little closed-eye smile when you drop coins in his cup, as I did after taking this shot. (Photo and caption by soylentgreen23, altered)
Notice the opening – beginnings are often important – and in this case that importance is highlighted when the theme is repeated, that’s another clue – we repeat things that matter!
The man born blind is a great character, do enjoy listening to him “naively” running rings round the clever religious scholars 🙂 So, it’s all about spotting who Jesus is, and the evidence is what he does – handsome is as handsome does!
