"...a compelling and straightforward voice...this book is essential reading for those interested in spirituality, self-transformation, and art." "...a master at evoking time and place." - Erica Ball, Independent Book Review
"Through her vivid prose and evocative visual art, she invites readers to reflect on their own encounters with the extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary." - K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite
"...eloquent and warm..." "A thoughtful, winding reflection that gently challenges readers to recognize the patterns of their own lives." - Kirkus Reviews
This is a book about extraordinary experiences in an ordinary life-a life full of doubt but also brimming with hope.
In this collection of midlife memories, the author travels from Texas to the Hudson River Valley, to the Navajo Nation, and finally, to the Rocky Mountains in search of answers to life's big questions. Along the way, she encounters angels, creates sacred art, participates in hidden rituals, faces disappointment, shame, and unexpected transformation.
Through both writing and visual art, Gaydos draws on decades of interdisciplinary scholarship in psychology, mythology, nursing, and creative work to find deep meaning in the open spaces of memory. Traveling with the author through inner and outer landscapes, readers are compelled to reconsider their own memories of extraordinary happenings. Those with a sense of the Infinite who have sought faith without doubt will be inspired by this spiritual memoir of grace and gratitude.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - For forty years, H. L. Gaydos sat with people at the edges of their own lives. As a psychiatric nurse and mental health specialist, she listened to how patients told the stories of themselves, how they remembered, revised, and rebuilt meaning from experience. She earned a PhD studying exactly that process, developing a research method that used visual art to explore self-defining memories, the moments that shape who we understand ourselves to be.Then she retired, walked into her studio in Manitou Springs, Colorado, and turned that same lens on her own life.Patterns is the book that emerged. It travels from Texas to the Hudson River Valley, to the Navajo Nation, and finally to the Rocky Mountains, in search of answers to life's most persistent questions. Along the way, Gaydos encounters angels, creates sacred art, participates in hidden rituals, and faces disappointment, shame, and unexpected transformation. Her collaged visual art moves through the book alongside the prose, each image assembled the way memories are held: not in sequence, but in relation.This is not a retirement memoir. It is the book an entire career was building toward, the moment a woman who spent decades studying how memory constructs meaning finally had the language to understand her own.'A compelling and straightforward voice. this book is essential reading for those interested in spirituality, self-transformation, and art. a master at evoking time and place.' - Independent Book Review, starred review'Eloquent and warm. a thoughtful, winding reflection that gently challenges readers to recognize the patterns of their own lives.' - Kirkus Reviews'Through her vivid prose and evocative visual art, she invites readers to reflect on their own encounters with the extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary.' - Readers' Favorite.
