”Hjernetumorfortællinger” indeholder 23 personlige fortællinger om mødet med hjernetumor. Livshistorierne er skrevet af både hjernetumorramte og pårørende. Det er unikt at få et indblik i begge sider. Der er også udtalelser fra fagpersoner bagerst i bogen. Antologien er til alle, der er ramt af eller er tæt på livstruende sygdom. Vi er både med på hospitalet og i hjemmet. Bogen rummer en samling af personlige historier om, hvordan det føles at miste en del af sig selv, og om at miste eller leve videre med ens nærmeste, der lever med en større eller mindre hjerneskade. De selvbiografiske beretninger i “Hjernetumorfortællinger” kan starte vigtige og svære samtaler. Sygeplejerske Elisabeth Rasmussen udtaler: “Jeg har læst Hjernetumorfortællinger med min sjæl og min personlighed, men også med de faglige briller. Jeg er blevet klogere på, hvordan jeg kan gøre en forskel, og sidder tilbage med en stor taknemmelighed. Historierne har radikalt ændret noget i mig.”Citater fra bogen: ”Jeg er helbredt, men ikke rask. Hjerneskadet og sanseforstærket.” Dagmar ”Jeg er taknemmelig for, at min dårlige hukommelse giver mig mulighed for at se alting med friske øjne igen.” Nivi ”Jeg kan sidde og iagttage ham, og bortset fra arret i panden og de ekstra ni år ligner han jo den mand, han var inden. Han lyder også som ham. Han kan lide at lave de samme ting, og han opfører sig næsten som inden. Men han er ikke den samme.” Anette

The Cosmic Dance is about the enigmatic phenomenon of electromagnetic waves swirling around a cauldron of fire and ice, if you will. We see this cauldron (container) as a relatively open universe filled with stars. We wouldn't think that light (electromagnetic particles and waves) is the essence of a self-contained entity capable of producing all the stars and everything with it. But if we look closer, then we realize that these biffs of light are the constituents of all physical things. But how is it even possible that a particle of light could be a candidate for all things great and small? Well, it has all the necessary parts to be a self-contained entity that persists throughout the universe at every scale. The universe is filled with stars for what we know, but at the scale of things, there is a world of emotions that is nothing but spectacular. Therefore, the universe can be described as a cauldron of fire and ice filled with emotions.
