. . . This site is a new technological vehicle, the blogsphere, for a brand new topic to be discussed. Spirituality and Deafness? It is a totally new concept for most, if not all, of us, both deaf and hearing people. For hearing people, they might be, at worst, unable to contemplate this concept. For deaf people, they might produce various known and unknown responses until once looking and contemplating into this, IT is, of course, inside you.

. . . The spirituality of all deaf people’s life journeys is as diverse as it is for every human being on earth. Diversity is also how we define it.

. . . The spirituality of being deaf lies within the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual journey of deafhood for everyone afflicted and associated with hearing loss, all over our large globe. Yes, Deafhood as an concept is new and exciting. After people realize that the deafhood concept is not necessarily a deaf nationalistic ideology, we will eventually agree that the pride AND the shame of being deaf are both equally dDeafhood issues. The deafhood processes of a proud Deaf person and of a born-deaf non-signer are the two, however poles apart, examples of the journeys of our dDeafhoodism.
