The madness in his eyes marks his duty;
He has no other purpose in him.
One step. Then another, toward oblivion;
He makes his peace knowing death's within.
The male, now female, bears a child;
death pains are birth, a birth for all the living.
This is the sacrifice: the dream becomes real.
The madness passes; the corn is revealed.

In addition to the artwork, she is involved in two ongoing projects. The Madwoman Project, is dedicated to understanding madness as a creative process, promoting the idea of creativity as the ultimate solution for living with mental and emotional problems. The other project is The Reincarnation Café, and its offshoots, The Reincarnation Compendium and the YouTube channel, "farmemory." Sandra has written a workbook for past life recall called Going Past, and is a volunteer expert on reincarnation at allexperts.com.
