My wheelchair opens a window to another world. In that world, things
are as they should be. I’ve dreamed about going there; obsessed about

the dizziness sometimes drives me mad. When I look through the window
at the real world, and fix my gaze upon a clear objective, the
spinning stops and my world rights itself for a time.
