The Art of Medicine in Metaphors
Announcing The Art of Medicine in Metaphors by James Borton.

Living in the absence of the dead. The sweetness that can come with grief.

Writing about our demons takes courage, but in the process we become more authentic, able to integrate our suffering into "the joyousness of the unified being."
