On September 17, @passion4asl.bsky.social posted a beautiful short essay called "The Garden of Humanity."

"Deaf people are sometimes described as though we are missing something essential or living a lesser version of life. I see it very differently.

Happy Sunday, all. FYI, ICYMI, September is #DeafAwarenessMonth

Thanks to @passion4asl.bsky.social, a Deaf writer and teacher of ASL/Deaf Studies who admins a wonderful FB public group ABCs by ABC: Deaf Culture, my awareness of Deaf culture has increased exponentially.

"No flower is more or less worthy because it looks, grows, or responds to the world differently. The variety is what makes the garden beautiful."

Thank you, @passion4asl.bsky.social for helping me to see more of the beauty in the garden of humanity.

"Humanity is much like a garden filled with different flowers. Each one grows, blooms, and experiences the world in its own way. A rose does not need to become a sunflower to prove that it belongs in the garden.

"The problem begins when society decides that every flower must grow in precisely the same way. Instead of appreciating different forms of communication, hearing-centered systems often try to trim, reshape, or relocate Deaf people until we fit their preferred arrangement.

3/3 It can happen through vibration, observation, movement, attention, connection and countless other forms of awareness. What might we discover if we broaden our understanding of what listening can be?
