This image shows a person from behind, standing in calm and silence, revealing a scar that runs along their spine. But it is not just any scar: it shines with an intense light, as if it holds within it all the strength born from pain. It is not hidden or covered; instead, it is shown with pride.

In 1947, before the vaccine was available, I contracted polio at age 4. It left the left side of my body limp but especially my left arm and back. It was to mark my life to this very day.

Love this I’m quirky like that

I was told to lower my shoulder at a dental clinic where they wanted to take a panoramic X-ray of my teeth

What would you think if I
Had a hump
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your hand and I'll walk proud with you
And I'll show the world that we are all not the same
Oh, I get by being unique
Mmm, I get high being unique
Ooh, I'm so proud of my crooked spine
What do I do when the world wants me to change
(Does it worry you to be not the same
How does it feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're crooked
No, I get by loving my spine
Mm, I get high loving my spine
Ooh, I'm gonna try to embrace my curve
Do you need anybody?
I need people to see we are not all one size and shape
(Could it be anybody?)
Yes it always starts with one
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you but I know it's my own spine
Oh, I get by loving my spine
Mm, I get high loving my spine
Ooh, I'm gonna try loving my spine.

For all our Wordle players - what a surprise to see this pop up last Thursday! And we love that "whine" was *not* the right answer...

A sweet reminder of the centre of our universe over here at TOPS, and how the many different parts of our lives are closely connected.
