Disoriented

Something I am conscious of these days like never before is ensuring the path is clear. I have this thing these days about trip hazards. What I will often do is clear a path and then walk it so I am satisfied all is well and there is nothing that could get in the way.
I guess in the past it was not as important to me. If there was something that got in the way I dealt with it when I reached it and moved on. I do not necessarily have that luxury these days.
Something unexpected or unseen can cause me to topple.
I definitely know I am not as bad as some but bad enough to understand. I remember it particularly with my bro. after he had a stroke. Falling over had real implications. He did it once in the shopping centre. It was not as a result of negligence on anyone’s part but something unexpected happening. I know he was embarrassed big time. He did not say as much but I could see he was. He was helped to his feet and we departed pretty quickly.
Disorientation is a weird thing. It can be described but speaking for myself I know I never really understood until now. I loved the surf. I would spend ages swimming or fishing in it. Fishing I would wade out in it with my bait under my cap on my head meaning I did not need to return to shore to bait up.
But the last time I was in the surf it is really hard to describe how weird I felt. It was like everything was moving uncontrollably. It was not pleasant. Now I just fish from the shore.
What I do can definitely seem over the top but I console myself in the fact I know it is the way it has got to be. I have yellow lines indicating drops around the house. I guess it is a reflection of my thinking that “do to others as you would be done by.” For most making provision is unnecessary, but not for all. My thinking is to make it as comfortable for all as possible. I may not cover all scenario’s but I will cover all I can.
I guess that is what being inclusive means. I do not want anyone to miss out. Something may involve something extra for me but it is worth it to me if it means more feel comfortable. I have never yet come across anyone that was glad they had a disability but I have come across heaps that adept. I want that to be as easy as possible.
I does seem to make a difference that I am not disoriented when it comes to a sense of purpose. I am confident my belief system covers all scenario’s. Nothing I have experienced has indicated otherwise.
