What a beautiful comment Laura. I will listen to the sound cloud in a minute (excited about it) but wanted to say there is such a thing as heightism 🙂 ur lucky it hasn’t touched u. I am tall for my society, tallish in general.. But my daughter had growth issues and it created all kinds of social problems (and she’s only 4!) but it also made her unable to do certain things kids her age do easily (climb steps – turns out it’s more than just a height problem but anyway). Ah. Don’t get me started 🙂

But yes – I talk about all of these ways I am different and difference isn’t always a bad thing or a disadvantage. It’s often a great thing and makes each of us unique. But it’s all contextual isn’t it? (was the woman able to tie her shoes? The cloak thing is called abaya and is usually black but can be colorful)
