Disabled Joy

(Speaker A) How do I explain the multitudes that is disabled joy. Disabled joy. Disabled joy. Disabled joy.
(Speaker A) You. 
(Speaker B) Disabled joy to me is a practice. 
(Speaker C) Is a way of thinking, a way.
(Speaker B) Of living that says joy.
(Speaker C) Joy is not the inflexibility of wanting.
(Speaker B) Something and then getting it or planning a life and then living your life. Exactly to plan. Disabled joy has so many more multitudes than that. Disabled joy is laying in bed, body.
(Speaker C) Too weak to move and not pushing.
(Speaker B) Against it, not trying to get up, not thinking about getting up, thinking instead of what would be fulfilling for me to do here as I lay down and give my body the rest. It needs it. Maybe I draw, maybe I paint, maybe I write to somebody I love. Disabled joy is feeling rage at the way your joints burn and burn as you sit, and not speaking words or thinking words of hate at a body that is trying so hard but instead asking the rage, how can I empower you? What do you need? What can I give you? What can we do while we burn?
(Speaker A) Disabled joy.
(Speaker B) Disabled joy is human joy. Human joy.
(Speaker C) A practice of kindness to each and.
(Speaker B) Every part of yourself, to your bones, to your muscles, to your skin, to your thoughts, to your feelings. Every single one. And I am lucky. I am so lucky because being disabled means that I will likely live more.
(Speaker C) Years of joy than I would have.
(Speaker B) Had I not been disabled.
