(L)imitations

Don’t deny limitations are real,
They see, hear, smell, taste and feel,
Just learn to discern their flimsy disguise,
And confront the impostors —
Me, myself and I.

There is a young man. He has physical limitations. Teens, young adults and older folks sit with him, converse, spend time. Their interactions look relaxed, comfortable, commonplace, matter of fact, normal, as it should be, family. I see him dancing. They dance with him, around him, for him and for the spirit of the dance. Should he stumble, lose his balance, start to falter or fall, one person stands behind him with tender hands.

Every person has at least one limitation. It may be physical, intellectual, beliefs, emotional, a weakness in scarceness or a weakness in excess. Individuals overcome, cope, move on and live despite these limitations especially with someone near, by their side, at their back. When a limitation overcomes an individual, there are not enough individuals, not as it should be.
