An honest accounting of the journey from the darkness of brain cancer to the lightness of being. "Passion" and "Shadow" reflect accurately the richness of feelings, thoughts, and images evoked by brain cancer. The confusion, the wonderment, the sadness and pain of loss, the exhilaration of freedom. They are all here, to be honored and appreciated.
