~The Gifted Writer by Mark Tulin~
Winston believed that writing was a blessing, if not a miracle. He was a quadriplegic, and to be able to write each day was life-affirming. Winston had a steady stream of ideas and got the most out of his mental capacities. It was the ultimate satisfaction to breathe his words into the mic and have them printed on paper. His wife edited his poems, sent them to various publications, and some were published. It was gratifying to have his wife read his poetry from a magazine as he sat stiffly in the wheelchair.
Winston was unable to move an inch but capable of climbing mountains with his words.

Nice one Mark!
Thank you, Anne!
Very well put, Mark. I think some of us put ourselves into mental “wheelchairs” when we don’t access our abilities.
How precious that he still has a “life” worth living. Well expressed, Mark!
Thanks, Susi.
You’re welcome!
Beautifully expressed.
