Here’s the last follow-up until another 100 updates.

She’s lost her hair, parts of her body, most of her legs, but not her composure.

So she wins.

But it’s easy for her- her plucky smile is stencilled on.

Have you ever meet a three-legged dog? They’re amazing. Inspirational!

Basically, they are just like any other dog!

They can do everything most dogs do and they show no embarrassment or shame over their condition. They play with other dogs and everything almost like they don’t know they’ve lost a limb. Of course, they do, and of course, there is a physical limit to what they can manage, but they seem to have trouble finding it!

You can’t cripple a dog like you can a person.

I know I would be devastated if I lost either an arm or a leg. As an artist, it would be absolutely crushing to lose my good arm, or even my good hand. As a street artist, losing a leg would be incredibly heartbreaking. Being able-bodied allows me to climb ladders, buildings, jump fences, and just effectively get up and around the city.

If I lost a limb, and like a dog, used all my remaining abilities to the maximum, without shame or depression, I would probably be just fine. I’m sure I’d manage.

But, of course, our physical limits aren’t really what handicap most of us.

And sadly, some of us blessed with excellent physical health are as handicapped, as crippled, as lacking ???????? as if we were quadriplegics.
