It's like the blind leading the blind

One time my dad said that to me,
NO! ... more than once, a hundred times probably,
maybe a thousand, who could keep track?
It's like the blind leading the blind, he'd say
when I tried to convince him that there was a way for
me to help others or for others to help me at a minimal
cost, but my dad thought I was lost and he thought all the others
who were in this gig, this big plan, this fantastic clearinghouse
of healing, were all pitiful souls who he didn't know how to help,
despite the fact that he would have wanted to, and he didn't
believe any of us could help each other either.
"It's like the blind leading the blind," he said.
So apropos.
Well, all these years later,
it's time to let it go
because he was probably right.
After all, I still need a flashlight to find my way
to the bathroom at 4am.
