Aside from being an artist, I am also a CranioSacral Therapist. For about 1.5 years I was honored to provide this healing work to veterans. Most veterans I treated served in Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq. They ranged in age from 20-something to thier late 50’s, but their ailments were strikingly

similar: physical aches and pains, chronic headaches, chronic difficulty sleeping, and PTSD that would take time to heal. This photograph reminded me of their journey. Every now and then, the culmination of their training and bravery yielded miraculous moments. Other times were rough and ragged, and reasons for carrying on were hard to find. But something in them kept them striving for peace and justice; for the light at the end of the tunnel.
