I have just completed editing the prior post. And I find I am discontented with the imagery.

The header image shows some Ottawa construction scaffolding. It is a perfect introduction to the post: there are multiple elements, the sense is slightly claustrophobic, it is not entirely clear what is going on in the image, the subject appears mirrored or distorted. All of these things reflect aspects of my experience, lived aspects of an injury the Doctors only encounter in textbook descriptions.

That last post represents some form of breakthrough for me. I do not yet fully comprehend the nature of that breakthrough or its full extent. I just have this sense of having made a major discovery, some realization, a conceptual synergy — I do not have the words to describe it. Yet I can experience it.

And I realized that the image that introduced the post, while effective for the purpose of performing an introduction and setting the tone, does not accurately convey my experience subsequent to the post. It does not convey how I feel after having made my discovery.

The image at the top of this post does convey that experience. And I have added it in here in an attempt to convey what I sense of the nature of my breakthrough.
