Right peeps on social media. I know some of you don’t like it when I post about my impairment, my cerebral palsy. If you object to my admitting a weakness, I cannot be your friend. I am now always at least in a certain level of pain, and am on some pretty strong pain killers. I have a throbbing pain in my left leg, and have for the last month. I want to continue making YouTube videos, Facebook updates and Twitter comments. But if I am to be hated, privately messaged, as I have been on multiple occasions, complaining that ‘all I do is talk about disability’ then I will stop. It’s simply not worth the effort to be hated that much. I always try to leave a conversation in peaceful tones. So I give you this from James Joyce. ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us down; It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
