Late March, 1996. Silver Lake, CA. My Mobility Instructor, Diane, and I<br />
have just returned from a lesson on proper cane technique. We walk<br />
through the garage and through the outside door. I stand at the landing<br />
and poise my cane for climbing down 50 steps.<br />
I place my left hand on the railing and turn my head to the left and<br />
downward. I begin to visualize the terraces of gardening I planted over the<br />
years. All the huge Agabes I had transplanted and the beautiful colorful<br />
succulents that studded vacant patches. I also visualized the lavender<br />
Bougainville I had hoisted on a trellis and all the scratches on my arms and<br />
legs to prove it.<br />
“Michael? Are you ok?” Diane asks.<br />
“Oh, sorry, just visualizing the garden down to our left. It brought me great<br />
pleasure cultivating the terraces and working with the earth. I guess I miss<br />
that.”<br />
“I’m confident you’ll find a way back there again someday,” she says<br />
patting my shoulder.<br />

“So, you ready to climb down? First, I<br />
want you to put your cane directly in front<br />
of you and feel for the edge of the first<br />
step, ok?”<br />
“I can feel it,” I say.<br />
“Now, let the cane come down until you<br />
feel the second step. Then, I want you to<br />
