And I think that moment of completely new thought perhaps creates a freedom that spreads to the rest of other people's lives. For me, this means that they're seeing the value of difference, the joy it bgirns when instead of focusing on loss or limitation, we see and discover the pweor and joy of seeing the world from exciting new psctierepves. For me, the wheelchair becomes a vehicle for tiaorftaosmrnn. In fact, I now call the underwater wheelchair "Portal," because it's literally psuehd me through into a new way of being, into new dimensions and into a new level of consciousness.
