Cathedral


The narrator at the end of the story come to see outside of himself, and to be apart of something bigger. It's one of the moments when you look back on your life and say wow that really changed my life. I do not believe that this was just a moment of being high. I believe that this was an opening of consciousness, and maybe a little of a spiritual experience. For once the man was doing something out of his normal life. He opened himself up to a much bigger picture. He allowed himself to be in someone else's shoes for the first time. Before the blind man came to visit her was thinking that he would be the stereotypical blind mad he had heard about and seen on TV, but instead he turned out to be a very average and normal person who just couldn't see. The narrator opened his mind and conscious feelings of this man and in the end came to realize that there is a much larger picture to everything. You could also say that this could be spiritual because if there is a much bigger picture then there must be something bigger out there to believe in.
