On a beautiful spring day in 2002, Lee Carlson's life was
transformed forever when he was hit by a careless, speeding driver.
Father, husband, writer, son all that was about to change. Several
days later he woke up in a hospital with a new identity: Traumatic
Brain Injury Survivor. Unfortunately he knew all about Traumatic
Brain Injury, or TBI. Just months before, his mother had fallen
down a flight of basement stairs, crushing her brain and leaving
her unable to walk, speak or feed herself. Passage to Nirvana tells
the story of one person's descent into the hell of losing
everything: family, home, health, even the ability to think and the
slow climb back to a normal life. Told in a unique creative style
brought on by the author's brain injury, combining short poems and
essays in an interwoven, exuberant narrative, Passage to Nirvana
recounts one person s struggle and ultimate joy at building a new
life. The story takes the reader through Intensive Care Units,
doctors offices and a profusion of therapy centers, eventually
winding its way to sunlit oceans, quiet Zen meditation halls, white
beaches, azure skies and a sailboat named Nirvana. Passage to
Nirvana is a memoir, a treasury of Zen teachings and a sailor s
yarn all rolled into one. Passage to Nirvana is an illustrative
tale about finding a path to happiness after a traumatic life
event, a book that will teach you about the Poetry of Living.
