One day when I was across
the hall visiting Sonya Sekula,
I noticed that she
was painting left-handed.
I said,
“Sonya,
aren’t you right-handed?” She
said, “Yes,
but I might lose the
use of my right hand,
and so I’m practicing
using my left.” I laughed
and said, “What
if you lose the use of both
hands?” She was busy
painting and didn’t bother to
reply.
Next day when I
visited her, she
was sitting on the floor,
painting with
difficulty, for she
was holding the brush between
two toes of her left foot.
