A THOUSAND MILES: March 2021

My road came to an unexpected halt on November 9, 2010.

I was bicycling to work that morning when a garbage truck drove into a Philadelphia bike lane. I was in that bike lane.

Trauma surgeons saved my life, but they had to amputate my left leg above the knee. The accident changed my body and health forever.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

For more than a decade, that journey has become my way of moving through the world.

I am a person with ability and disability. I travel in the space between. These are my postcards.

Mile Marker 9393:

What's interesting about your walk?

Ok, go.

Got nothing?

Nope. Me either...

Mile 9385:

How do we move forward in uncertain times?

Yep, it's time to venture out again.

Mask? Check.
Hand sanitizer? Check.
Walking buddy? Check.

At least, some things haven't changed...
