Sign language that is natural to the non-hearing community, looks unfamiliar to others in the general hearing society.  Sometimes they communicate better than us who can hear and speak. Is their ability to connect without spoken words? Or does that mean they speak from their heart and mind? How do we balance both? 

The challenge faced by the Deaf people is the lack of access to information. They commonly rely on the interaction of visual communication interpretation and very often there is a lack of it. With full and equal access to information, they will then be able to make informed decisions. Would you consider learning, connecting, and building bridges between communities?

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

No one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence"
