The Beauty of Disability *world premiere

text by Judith Heumann, Marco Grosse, and Molly Joyce

I encourage you all to recognize
that disability is a family
that you can join at any point in your life.

There is nothing uniform
only diversity
but there is commonality
of humanity
of plurality
of one minority
of disability.

What does it mean to be the same,
or different?

What does it mean to be looked at,
as not the same
by them.

Looked as an illness
not as a disability.

We are denied opportunities
based on perception of who we are.

There is commonality
of humanity
there is one plurality
of minority
of diversity
of disability.

Won’t you come join
at any time?

Won’t you come join
in your life?
