I hope people are just a little more … awake. I remember going on the subway and you know… you don’t know what challenges people are facing. Being with Amy and traveling with her on the subways… people don’t get up… and she’s got her cane and people just get frustrated with her as if she’s in the way. I feel for Amy, but also I’ve been on the other side of that where I’m in a hurry and you see someone coming up the stairs and you put your headset in a little further because you want to blow past them since you have to be somewhere… but honestly I just want people to have a little more empathy for what we are all going through as individuals. Because now that I have met Amy, my perspective on life and on humanity has changed tremendously.

Patience. Empathy. That’s what I am hoping to communicate with this finished work. The need for patience and empathy. And the story of an amazing person who has been triumphant through many struggles and is as beautiful inside and out as she ever was.

I know that I don’t walk down the street the same way or ride the subway the same way after meeting Amy. I”m a little more conscious and awake. Especially when those buses are coming… I’m like… STEP BACK.

If she can get up there and dance after all the obstacles she’s facing… I think to myself… what excuse to you have? Amy is living proof that anything is possible.
