Blog of Colin - way to fight his tragedy

Colin Ballin
I discovered yesterday the blog of Colin and I am amazed. He is now 22. In July 2004 Colin dove into a mountain stream and shattered his C4 vertebrae. He uses his blog as a weapon - to fight against his paralizy, to fight against his fears. His most recent post is from June 4th, three days ago. He was on a trail, in his wheelchair, and he describes how wanderful and adventurous was his time, by the Catawba River.

His blog is at http://spaces.msn.com/ballincolin/

I know about a blind woman who lives alone, and she is doing all her cooking and cleaning and shopping and everything is needed by herself. You have to know how to manage your weaknesses.

Colin, I think, knows how to find power in his tragedy.
