Excerpt: "It wasn’t until recovering from my brain injuries that I learned and experienced that every “thing” arises with its opposite. It’s commonly referred to as the Law of Opposites. But I had no idea that this existed and, for the first 38 or so years of my life, I operated under the assumption that I could get the “thing” I wanted and avoid its opposite altogether.

I tried to isolate the enjoyment and happiness of the process from the feelings of sadness and loss that naturally come with finishing the project.

I tried to move from one stage of life into the other without completing the former.

So much of the past 8 years has been learning how to be with life as it is as I am."
