I Didn't Realize That You Were Different

StoryCorps brings us another wonderful story of family love, from Bonnie Brown and her teenage daughter Myra.

Bonnie is intellectually disabled with a low IQ. For the past 18 years she’s worked at the same Wendy’s.

Here, her daughter asks her about being a mom.

Myra is enrolled in gifted and talented classes at her high school. She hopes to attend Cambridge University when she graduates.

Go listen to Bonnie and Myra tell their story (it's not long), and bring a hankie. Link

Unlike Paul Overton, I have never thought about the limits of paper sculpting, so my mind isn't really blown.

That said, it's very neat. That quote just seemed random.

This is made of paper. And skill and love. Those, too.

SnatchaFatCable: I'm not even an artist, and I think I know that if you're going to do art in any medium, you (should) never think about the limits of the medium but your own mind. Ka-pow!

I just know that I don't have the patience to discover what it takes to make a work like this. So, mind blown, a little.

Readers may be interested to watch a short documentary I wrote and directed about how paper is made, free to watch on my YouTube channel at EyesEars.com:
