It is the ESSENCE of the thing that is important to me rather than the thing itself. I still have intellectual stimulation, physical stimulation, work and play that are fulfilling. And I have a new appreciation for touch. That's quite lovely. If I get lost in the exact thing - whatever it is - I have no flexibility and will break. I don't want to break. I can't stop being who I am, but I'm not so set in my ways that the details are more important than the underlying truth.
