The brain fascinates and frightens me.
My sister has a brain injury, both of my grandmothers died of Alzheimer's, my sisters, my mother and I suffer from migraines. I have a friend who has epilepsy. I have read many books and articles about the study of the mind. The thing that has become painfully clear is that not much is known about the brain. Our thoughts, our memories, our passions, our desires are just so tenuous. We can lose them in a moment; we can lose them over time. They leave us so easily, these things we hold so dear.
