In the dimly lit bathroom, a paraplegic man lets the warm water cascade over his long, toned legs, numbed from his waist down. He props his feet up, the suds lathering between his toes, as he runs his hands over his skin, awakening sensation. His eyes close, focusing on the touch, the water, and the slow, steady rhythm of his breath. This is his daily devotion, a private, intimate ritual in the confines of his shower.
