It has been quite a cool day, mostly spent chatting about future projects and making plans. I just came across this quite awesome piece by Martyn Sibley though, and thought I would share it. Essentially it is his take on life as a disabled person, and I find myself agreeing with most if not all of it. He writes: ‘I believe disabled people can start to ‘own’ their differences. Many are kicking ass at school, work and life. If we have sex differently, roll rather than walk, speak with a computer, require sensory stimulation; so what!? By showcasing this, being proud of it and never settling; the bar gets raised a little higher. Moreover the message can be ”disability is cool, sexy and I need to get involved”.’ He writes that we should not hide our disability, but be proud of who we are: We saw with the Paralympics a coming together of worlds. A group of ‘superhuman’ athletes who are cool, sexy and happen to have an impairment. They collided with a public who were on an Olympic high, more socially minded and ready to look beyond medical conditions.’ Wise, inspiring words indeed – who knew I was that sexy!
