Now, I feel like I am not here alone. That is terrific! We all need each other. We don't need each other in a needy way which people believe disabled people represent. We need people over and over again to show up for us and follow through. We need people to say what they mean, and speak about real things, and have warmth. We need people to enlose, comfort, reach out, draw us in, not repel, bombard us, or push away with deed or word. That is what people need, because we are social, not hermmitic. Koraling Lynne
