I have to relearn how to walk again. It's not that you have to reteach yourself. But your mind and your foot have to get back on the same page, and remind yourself that it's OK to do this. You've done this before. It's reminding it what it's supposed to do again.

I was told as a teenager that I would never walk again.

And I've been walking 'round with memories way too long.

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Talk when you talk, walk when you walk, and die when you die.

When walking, you see things that you miss in a motor car or on the train. You give your mind space to ponder.

I can no longer walk in the street. That's over.

Sometimes, walking with a friend, I forget the world.

It finally became clear to me that they had no hopes of my ever walking again.
