My Near Death Experience Arts and Thoughts

Immersive reading or memoir writing

Especially historical, mystical, or ancestral threads—

letting your mind travel while your body rests.

Genealogy deep-dives Mapping Scottish, Irish, and Appalachian lines, noticing patterns, names, migrations—this is your kind of time travel.

Quiet nature sitting (yard, porch, window, or park bench) Watching birds, trees, clouds, animals—no walking required, and silence becomes a feature, not a limitation.

Visual art appreciation or creation Studying Klimt, Monet, Van Gogh—or sketching, collaging, or even arranging images digitally by mood or era.

Baking or slow, mindful cooking Bread, desserts, comfort foods—measured movements, sensory focus on texture, smell, and memory rather than speed.
