Nikola Tesla Is A Light

We named our cat in honor of my brother Don and his hero, Nikola Tesla. Don would light up when he talked about Tesla.

My husband John, also has long admired the inventor and he loves the tenacity of our cat. John says, “Tesla is the light of my world. My black light.”  nancymauerman.com

P.T.S.D. Victor Hugo And My Best Friend

P.T.S.D. didn’t kill my best friend’s body but, as Victor Hugo wrote, it plowed a deep furrow within him. The cut stayed open and raw for a time before new seeds were planted then the open cut was closed over, sealing a completely new life in.

They Are The Standing Dead, the picture below shows my friend, my husband, as he was when I met him; ripped and in anguish. Frogs are moving in instead of seeds and represent the change and healing to come.

Why frogs? John, my husband, and I both love those little sweeties. Soon after meeting John, he became greatly distressed over a frog dieing at his house. He was embarrassed, not knowing I was a frog lover too but he couldn’t hide his sorrow. I can cry over a pet even if it doesn’t have fur, too, so I thought, “This is someone special, someone to get to know.” This was the first thing that attracted me to him. Now John’s open wounds accepted a new  kind of life and his P.T.S.D. is often a source of laughter. He jumps and screams at every sudden sound and this  reminds of what a new and great life he’s built.   nancymauerman.com
