Not a complete reply, but just for starters, a favorite quotation --

contributed by longtime Buddhist meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg,

writing in *Oprah* Magazine . . . .

Salzberg cites contemporary classical Indian dancer Sudha Chandran --

suddenly and totally derailed from her art and her profession by the

amputation of her right leg. Following the drastoc surgery and fitting

of a prosthetic limb, however, Chandran resumed her dancing career.

" When asked how she had managed it, " Salzberg writes, " she responded

simply, 'You don't need feet to dance.' "
