Episode description:

What happens when we try to keep something under wraps for a long time, and what does it feel like to let go of that?  How does disability affect romance…  When someone falls in love with a person with a disability, what role might it play in considerations?  Is there a universality to the disabled experience, where it serves as a magnifying glass both for what is actually experienced and also what should be done?

Dan talks in this episode with the thoughtful and wise poet Ona Gritz about much more than her right hemiplegia.
