Broken threads
Here is where you imagine yourself being a little less or a little more than who you think you are when you use the word ‘normal’. The number of connections and reconnections your brain will perform over your lifetime is unclassifiable and unbelievable. Yet those connections all belong to you. Thus, what exactly is ‘you’? The contributors to this section have seen and experienced the breakdown of the body, or of the mind. They tell of our common and profound need for meaning to subsist over time, whether it be through the consideration we have for the lives of others, or through our efforts at constantly fixing and rerouting and attempting to heal the impossible story of our own life.
