Stigmata and Other Essays is about my journey through madness and an awakening spirituality. It asks tough questions, but in the end we have to decide for ourselves what to believe. Still, the book finds hope. My journey was not an easy one. Voices, depression, confusion. My spirituality is not easy to swallow. My reality is in doubt. We treat the mentally ill cruelly when we reduce them to misfiring neurotransmitters. Someday, we will all talk of this. This is my hope, that the stigma will be washed away, and people will listen to each other with open minds. So, for now, those who have a strange journey such as mine or know someone who has/does will hopefully find comfort in my words and begin the journey of answering for ourselves those tough questions. They are worth time and patience. I may write another essay to add to this collection, so check back in the spring. For now, I remain at a loss for more words.
