Beloved,
As I lay in bed yesterday morning, I was feeling apprehension. I was about to embark on a solo adventure where things could happen that I did not expect. I was feeling fear, not terrifying fear but a fear of the unknown. It sounds ominous doesn’t it? I knew that I did not have to go since I only made the commitment to myself and no one else would be affected. But something I have garnered from living these many years was that I would not let fear stop me. It was uncomfortable right now but I could do it, I could silence the feeling of fear I was feeling and feel the vulnerability. I could just let the eagerness of something new to be there. Since I have my scooter, it has led me to a freedom I have not known for 12 years but it has also led me into feelings of being childlike again. I have the anticipation of a child but as an adult, I know from experience what can happen when you launch out into brand new territory. How would I be able to handle unexpected terrain and bumps along the way? I have been eagerly looking forward to going to the Brimfield Antique show which encompasses a whole town full of booths and antiques. People come from all over the country either as a vendor or as a buyer. Thousands of people descend upon this small town where there are fields set up for all the tents and merchandise that has come from all over.
It is one thing to walk around and be able to look at everything that catches your eye. It is another thing to be on a small scooter which by its very size makes you lower in size than everything else around you. What a perspective it gives you. You feel like a child looking UP at all around you and trying to navigate around all these legs without bumping into them or having them bump into you. The people are so engrossed with looking that they don’t even see you because you are shorter. It requires a great deal of patience and waiting for the right opening to go either around them or through them. People keep apologizing to me for waiting for them to see that I am right there, waiting for them to move. I believe that this is an experience that has to felt because I was never truly aware of how people in wheelchairs or small people like children have to trust that they will not be run over. In larger wheelchairs, the person still needs patience but at least they are wider and higher so they are seen more readily.
Then….the ground under your scooter is another story. There are dirt paths, gravel paths and paths with much larger stones on it. Of course, there are paths made of grass also which turned out to be the easiest way for me to go. But….they intermingle so you never know when you are going to run into a path that has the larger gravel which turns your scooter into a cement mixer as it shakes and vibrates so much, you feel like you are in a mixer. I am chuckling as I think about it now and I did chuckle yesterday too. I had no choice but to go through the rough patches just to get back to the smoother ones. I know now the difference between the ride of an all-terrain vehicle and a bicycle. I lasted an hour and then I left because there was no way of knowing when or where you would be in rough ground. It was quite a learning experience and I now know to look for paved paths before planning an outing. Another benefit is my butt is sore like I have been exercising. It must have been all the bouncing around but I will still take that benefit. I got exercise without even knowing it. I am still looking forward to going to the Big E this fall where I know most of the roads are paved. I miss the baked potatoes in the Maine building and also the spun maple syrup. I am not giving up. What a ride back to childhood and vulnerability! My scooter was initiated and held up remarkably well.
I am sure that the ride to the 5th dimension will be equally as exciting but hopefully a lot smoother. This just came in from Patricia Cota- Robles and it is so eye opening and heart opening to know what we have been up without even being aware of it. This is something we can all participate even if we do not make the trip to Tucson.

What power do you have to make a change? Dave’s Bank could not have done what he did without his constituents. What or who are you a constituent of? Honor who you are, you make a difference every time you purchase. You vote for whatever or whoever every time you buy something. Don’t sell yourself short.
