A THOUSAND MILES: May 2022

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.

Hello from Mile Marker 10,437...

...where I lost my wallet. Again!

I've been working on a bunch of blog posts, but like everything else these days, they're so messy and jumbled, they may never survive cyberspace.

So instead, I'll tell this story.

It's called The Way The World Is.

Wait, you say. I already know how the world is, and I definitely DON'T want to hear about it!

I totally get it.

But you might want to hear this version...
