Now I keep reaching out until one day I feel the presence of God and tell him everything, even the secrets of my heart.

I know no one loves me, not even my grandma, they all left me because I was blind. If I could see, I could go to school like everyone else, but now I have to go to school for the blind, just like on the other side of the world. The teacher said that God loves blind people more because they can't see, but I said that if this is the case, God will not make us blind. So we can't see God, the teacher said, God is invisible, he is everywhere, you can feel him, you understand him with your fingertips. Now I keep reaching out until one day I feel the presence of God and tell him everything, even the secrets of my heart.

The Color of Paradise quotes

  • Mohammad: [crying] Our teacher says that God loves the blind more because they can't see. But I told him if it was so, He would not make us blind so that we can't see Him. He answered "God is not visible. He is everywhere. You can feel Him. You see Him through your fingertips." / Now I reach out everywhere for God till the day my hands touch Him and tell Him everything, even all the secrets in my heart.

  • Mohammad: [crying] Nobody loves me because I'm blind.
