Friedrich Nietzsche : "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger". It doe not makes us physically stronger. Things that almost kill us definitely take something from us. It could be something physical or something mental or both.  But our organism is very coping. It compensates the loss with what is left. So retained parts become much more developed and thus stronger. Those parts are stronger than they were before. But because there are missing parts, the compensation does not make you whole again. And definitely you are not what you are used to be.

This is a meditation.To heal and recharge your mind(the darker upper half of the painting) you need to connect and to listen to your body(the lighter lower part). It is difficult to communicate because your conscience is blocking low level signals(the multitude of spots in the middle). Some signals are getting though but are distorted and misunderstood.
