The Corpus Callosum Chronicles

Bridging the gap between imagination and logic through poetry, memoir, and myth.

Without human mirrors, animals offered to show me who I was, and who I could become. Deer and dog, turtle and snake, honeybee and dragonfly, hawk and owl, seal and songbird. Eventually, my world expanded to another ocean where the mirrors were less opaque, more aquamarine than labradorite, and the reflections I saw looking back at me more unfamiliar: dolphin and whale, octopus and eel. Shark. After years of low light, often gray, I started to see in technicolor.
