#bicycleecrash #mtbcrash #lastdayofjune #recovery #maggsvibo DETAILS: On the last day of June 2024, I accidentally hit a speed bump while mountain biking on Pupukea Mountain in the North Shore of Oahu. After emergency paramedics arrived at the scene, the subsequent days involved 4 trauma surgery teams to repair my shattered elbow, head trauma, internal laceration and hematoma. Because I've experienced TBIs in the past, this part of recovery is the most familiar. That this crash occurred on the last day of June is a story I will revisit in my art for likely years to come. In fact, the night before the crash, I created 2 pieces of art foretelling of the events to come, but regretfully didn't listen to the premonition. Unfortunately, my recovery from major surgeries will lasted all summer. In fact, my 50th birthday will be marked by rehabilitation and these mobility challenges will persist into 2025. Here I am on the last day of September wishing I had listened to my intuition. |
DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
