Amazing


It is amazing what a body can do if there is a big enough need or desire.

The artificial constraints placed upon us by society that hinge upon sex and age and supposed limitations are proved wrong all the time.

A parent faced with life threatening danger to a child has been known to perform super human feats like lifting a car.  A single parent who has to work manages to get by on almost no sleep for days, weeks, months and still appears to function quite adeptly.  People in their nineties run marathons, or dance in The Nutcracker, or fix their roofs!

Sometimes the impossible is accessible if the reason is powerful enough.  We are amazing creatures!
