About

Welcome to Dorothy’s Damage, a blog that rummages around in our collective subconscious.

Dorothy represents our perception of ourselves in the world. She is a mask, a persona, a character that obscures the reality of the pain and trauma experienced in our past. The damage from that pain and trauma sits on another layer of our being, the truth.

“What is truth?”, Pontius Pilate asked Jesus.
-John 18:38

What truths will turn up in the dark annals of our mind?

We can’t outrun our past, it is always right behind us like a shadow
To lose our past is to lose time itself
We can’t avoid our future, it is always staring us in the face like a reflection
-DorothysDamage

Dorothy’s journey to truth lies along a winding road through dark forests. Indeed the best travel companions will be courage, critical thinking, and compassion.
