#1 I am a yogi, and I have been teaching yoga for more than 25 years. I am always looking for inspiration, a burst of how a particular yoga pose feels. I am unable to feel my own paralyzed body, but I can feel the buzz of my wheelchair as I move it around.

#2 I have achieved a level of awareness that is so subtle, it seems so ordinary. I am not walking, nor do I feel courageous, but I have worked hard for such a moment. It has taken patience and a willingness to feel vulnerable.

#3 I had begun to fight against the respirator, the machine that was keeping me alive. I had become vaguely aware of certain sounds, try to hold my breath, fail, and then float back into the comforting silence. But eventually, my efforts became a source of panic.

#4 The death of my father and sister hardly registered - I took it in as a piece of information. Instead, I stayed locked on the feeling that my remaining family needed me to live. I did not grasp the threat to my continued existence, and then rally to beat the odds.
