No ordinary morning.

I had wanted to go on 50-mile bike rides.

I had wanted to get back into rock climbing and swing dance.

I had wanted to go hiking every week.

I had wanted to cook every day.

I had wanted to be a friend people could ask to help lift things.

I had wanted to be able to get my hands dirty, to help people, to make big things and change things.

I still want to work, to help where I can, to make small things; but I’m struggling there, too.

Maybe it was never going to be possible, I’ve always been more limited than my peers even when I was more able-bodied than I am now (though I was never able-bodied). But I miss those projects, those desires, those goals. I miss when they seemed possible, when they were something I could work towards.

Spongey moss beneath my knees, damp from recent rain, soaking through clothing to the skin; worth it to capture the tiny world sprawled at my feet.
