When I read about the cover of the latest issue of Time Magazine just now, I made a point of looking for an image of it. I find John Mavroudis' portrait of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to be deeply moving. An untitled painting of mine from 1993 came to mind as I was looking at the Time Magazine cover and reading the words from her testimony. I traded that painting for several sessions of ongoing trauma counseling that I availed myself of from 1997 or 1998 to 2003 for help working through trauma dating from 1970 and back to my childhood. I am still getting counseling. I have come a long way and refuse to go backward in any way, no matter what happens. I know that I am not alone. I didn't always know that.
