I have spent endless hours searching for answers and screaming for help. WHY did this happen to me? Although I have retreated to the defined rules and boundaries of religion for protection at times, I've discovered that the real answer is in forgiving myself.

The haunting feelings and images of recurring nightmares is captured in this image. Examining these frightful memories has helped me to understand and release the energy of that repressed trauma.

A clear view of the road leading through the mountains.
A rear view mirror giving clues to the past.
Religious beliefs captured in the plastic Jesus.
A throw of the dice and the luck it brings.
The salad of the here and now mixed for tomorrow.
