The distance was in the eyes, too. And also later, when the refugees weren't walking in Flottenstrasse anymore. When they went to the post office, or talked too loudly on the phone from a rough neighborhood. And wrote signs of life on cards to another country" (p. 21).

In only a few moments the clay rose and fell, grew taller, then rounded down, until it curved into perfect symmetry. The spinning slowed. The chant, too, died out and became a mutter of words that Tree-ear could not hear. In 1995 Müller was awarded membership to the German Academy for Writing and Poetry, and other positions followed. In 1997 she withdrew from the PEN centre of Germany in protest of its merge with the former German Democratic Republic branch. There is nothing better for your body than walking.

How do you move on from cancer when the world won’t let you?” asks this semi-autobiographical young adult novel. The protagonist, Mari—like the author—is a childhood cancer survivor and LAK amputee seeking to express her identity in a world that keeps her boxed into the “disability” compartment.

Then he would repeat the whole process. This day Tree-ear was able to watch the clay rise and fall four times before Min was satisfied. Each of the four efforts had looked identical to Tree-ear, but something about the fourth pleased Min. He took a length of twine and slipped it deftly under the vase to release it from the wheel, then placed the vase carefully on a tray to dry. Many guys get big up top with spindly legs from a combination of diet and the kind of activity they do, and that’s difficult to reverse later. So, you have to start prevention in midlife.” Dr Lowe added: “Upstream interventions are key. You’ve got to stay active: older women are far less active than older men, and general activity, just moving around and doing stuff, affects balance a lot.” It’s well known that balance diminishes with age and that falling is a real danger for older people. But falls are the third most common cause of unintentional injury worldwide for ages 18 to 35, too. Try standing on one leg for 20 seconds, then switch sides. If you can master that, try it standing inches from a blank white wall. A wall with no visual cues makes it harder. Then try it with your eyes closed. On the bounce
