This book is about my experience of healing from a traumatic brain injury. One year after the accident I painted twelve abstract pieces with prose that visually displayed my recovery. The paintings in this book emerged from a process honed for more than three decades. Art has always been my primary mode of expression. Art classes in junior high and high school led to a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, work in technical illustration, mapmaking, jewelry work, teaching art and continued art education. About fourteen years before the accident I began a disciplined daily meditation practice and study that continued until the accident. Additionally my child and adult near death experiences contributed to my continual internal spiritual exploration. The near death experience at the time of the accident was instrumental in my healing process. The combined focus of these long standing practices pushed through the rubble of a nonfunctional brain and struggling body.
