Once again you have engaged, moved, and inspired me - this particular piece is especially poignant as many of our clients have visible (and invisible) disabilities. Working with them to ensure safe, equitable access to even basic needs is eye-opening, moving, maddening (in terms of barriers). Your reminiscence is a reminder of the value (and the difficulty) of simple human connection. Keep writing, my friend and keep challenging us all to be better....
I read this last night, MC, and I’m still thinking about it today. Thinking about times when I should have gone the extra mile, tried harder. Thanks for starting this conversation
Such a fine piece - provocative both of uncomfortable inward recognitions and of wondering why these thresholds between persons always seem so much more nerve-wracking in this country than in other countries. Thank you for the provocation!
Thank you for your thoughtful read, Tom. and for taking the time to comment -- much appreciated and you bring up a good point about how disability is regarded in different countries.
