Each of us must find the right dance to move us through life with as much grace and satisfac-

tion as we can hope to attain. Will we waltz or swing? Pirouette or prance? Will we tango with torrid gaze or cut a rug with a rumba? Paul Bendix of Menlo Park doesn’t have a pat and pithy response when asked in a recent interview to elaborate on the title of his newly published book of personal essays, “Dance Without Steps.” One might assume that, for him, the word “dance” is merely a metaphor for life, given that he’s been paralyzed since 1968 after being shot and left for dead during a street robbery when he was on the cusp of graduation from UC Berkeley. And yes, he says after pondering the question for a few moments, dance is a meta-phor, but as far as its precise mean-ing in his life, “I’m kind of working that one out.” Then: “I’ve been through an awful lot of changes,” he offers, citing the long-ago shooting, the partial recovery of some movement that allowed him to live independently in London for a few years, the decline in neurological function in his 40s and the subsequent developments that have made mobility increasingly difficult. And of course, there’s the pain of loss that has marked his life. “It all adds up to a kind of dance,” he concludes, and to amplify he recalls old cowboy movies where the gunslinger shoots at the ground near his nemesis’ feet, barking, “Dance!” With the difficulties of life as a par-tial quadriplegic mostly confined to a wheelchair, Mr. Bendix says, “I often

“It all adds

up to a kind of dance.”

Coffee and a newspaper are usually on the agenda when Paul heads downtown, blocks away from his home.

Paul Bendix is a familiar sight in downtown Menlo Park, where he navigates

the streets in his motorized wheelchair.

SPECIAL LENSES FOR COMPUTER USE

With 31 percent of people over the age of 18 saying that they spend an average of five hours daily on a computer, tablet, or cell phone, it is no wonder that eyestrain has become an even greater problem. As computer users’ eyes not only stay focused for long periods of time, their eyes must also remain converged (moved inward). Reduced blinking makes matters even worse. As a result, focusing fatigue and convergence fatigue leads to eyestrain and blurred vision. Unfortunately, these

problems cannot be adequately addressed with regular prescription lenses or reading glasses. The best solution involves the use of single-vision eyeglasses that are specifically prescribed for computer and desk work. To do specific work, specific tools are needed.

Computer screens have become an integral part of our lives. Many of us use computers at work and home, and more and more people are reading books on tablet readers. Staring at com-puter screens can take a toll on your eyes. Please bring your eyewear prescription to MENLO OPTICAL at 1166 University Drive, on the cor-ner of Oak Grove Avenue and University Drive, where you’ll find the latest eyewear to suit your lifestyle and personal taste. Call us at 322-3900 if you have questions about eyewear.

P.S. To better focus their eyes on computer screens or smartphones, desk workers who already wear glasses may avail themselves of special progressive lenses that are designed spe-cifically for intermediate and near vision usage.

felt that way: ‘Dance!’” And yet, the book’s title “also glances in part on the essay about dancing with Marlou on the Queen Mary,” he adds, referring to his late wife, Mar-lou Imes. In the poignant 2007 essay, “Queenly,” Mr. Bendix describes the evening on the ship when he realized that to dance — to dance with his wife just then, in a ballroom on the Queen Mary 2, with a live band — was something that mattered to their lives. “Just that we were here, alive and together,” he wrote. “And it had taken sixty years for me to get here, and something similar could be said of everyone else. “Marlou didn’t need a gentle-man escort right now, for I could stand up from my wheelchair, hold her in my arms and dance the dance of the paralyzed.”

Scenes from life

Although the publisher chose to call “Dance Without Steps” a memoir, Mr. Bendix says it might be better labeled “scenes from a disabled life.” Written between early 2005 and December 2010 and dedi-cated to Marlou, who died in 2009, the book includes sketches of his life growing up in Southern California desert country; living in Berkeley during his college days; “on a roll” in recent years as he navigated life in Menlo Park, the wider Bay Area, and trav-eling the world; and pursu-ing his passion for “keeping things alive” by toiling in the garden. The most dramatic essay, titled “A June Night,” tells of the horrific event that changed his life in a way unimaginable to anyone, let alone a young student on the threshold of adult life. He was walking home from campus that night after studying for finals when he was approached by three young men asking for money. The response to his negative reply was a clip to his chin, then a bullet to his spinal cord. “With the bang, which was not terribly loud, my step ceased,” he wrote. “My puppet body slipped downward, strings cut. The head bounced, then settled in a field of black rocks, the view of an eye resting on pavement.”

Local life

Mr. Bendix moved to Menlo Park in 1981. Now 65, he is a familiar presence downtown,

traversing the sidewalks on Santa Cruz Avenue and nearby streets, stopping by Peet’s for coffee, and rolling through the Sunday Farmers’ Market. He has worked as a writer for decades, including stints as a science writer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a copywriter for a Silicon Valley firm. Mr. Bendix has also done out-reach work for Menlo-Atherton High School, and, a frequent train rider, he currently chairs the Caltrain Advisory Commit-tee. He met Marlou in 1997, and together they were a lively pres-ence in the Menlo Park Com-munity Chorus. He continues to sing in the chorus and has done publicity for concerts. “Mostly I enjoy singing ... though I cannot read a note of music,” he says in an email. “In earlier generations, singing was much more commonplace and taken for granted. For me, this is an essential community activity. ... Singing is an abso-lutely joyous group activity, one that links me to the community in all the best ways.” The chorus director, April McNeely, performed a solo from Faure’s Requiem at Marlou’s funeral, which was attended by many chorus members. “For more than a year after her death, the chorus dedicated perfor-mances to her memory,” Mr. Bendix says.

Making sense of life

In addition to his new book, Mr. Bendix writes a blog, “Range of Motion,” at paulbendix.com. He says that the blog was “a great liberation for me,” when he began it years ago. Even though he had always thought about writing a book, he says, “I wanted it to be perfect” — a well-known recipe for not doing anything at all. “But with a blog, it didn’t have to be perfect,” he continues. “It was more like daily journalism ... and it got me moving” in the direction of a writing life. When Marlou became ill, writing kept him sane, he says. In the face of death, one can feel alone and cut off from the rest of the world. “In writing, I was able to tune into my reflections, insights and discoveries — all of which came to me quite natu-rally at the time,” he explains. “When death is all around, something in us tries to make sense of things. This seems to be a naturally healing human capacity. Writing is just a way to get the stuff down.”

The book’s epigraph is a quote from his essay about dancing with Marlou on the Queen Mary 2. The passage refers to a fellow traveler on the ship — a man who had been stabbed in

the eye while on duty with a fire brigade, then contracted ALS, a fatal neurological condition also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. “He was, in many ways, the

best reminder of all. That this is life, that it is a voyage, that the essential conditions are rough, and that it all ends.” Mr. Bendix says that passage “reflects much of my inner life. I am very aware of loss, cannot help but observe the tragedy of human existence — yet I find buoyancy in humor, love, con-nections — and ultimately see hope in my days.”

At the library

Mr. Bendix will talk about “Dance Without Steps” on Sat-urday, June 16, in the Menlo Park City Council Chambers. The free program begins at 11 a.m., and is sponsored by the Menlo Park Library and the Friends of the Menlo Park Library. Free van service for Menlo Park seniors and people with disabilities can be scheduled by calling 330-2512. A

(714) 573-1965 or www.priorityposting.com THE FOLLOWING NOTICES APPLY TO PROPERTIES CONTAINING ONE TO FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ONLY. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-tion does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop-erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis-tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, ben-

eficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the following two companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for "Advanced Search" to search for sale information), using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone informa-tion or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement infor-mation is to attend the scheduled sale. P947818 5/23, 5/30, 06/06/2012 ALM
