Self-portrait After Healing

Healing is not about returning to the way you were before, it's about accepting what you fear the most. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature-the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. I used the butterfly which symbolizes birth in another form (when it emerges from the cocoon) and the flying fish which symbolizes liberation which helps with the concept of healing. 2900*3500 PX
