Helena Lind's life circled around her daughter Nefer, music and being there for her loved ones and many others. A good and very successful life too, endangered extremely in 1992, just after the release of Helena's most important musical work "The Magic World of Avalon". The consequences of an accident en route to a television appearance left Helena totally incapacitated.
"I lost my health, many abilities and all I've worked for, everything that there was to lose, to be then left "for dead" along the roadside", Lind remembers yet without a trace of bitterness.
She refused to accept what to others seemed her unalterable fate. She still had her inner strength, her belief, ideals and: her family's old locket: "MIZPAH!"
The hopeful meaning became the leitmotif of Helena Lind, reminding her never to give up.
"Even when there was nothing but problems galore, insults heaped upon injuries I could consult the dream that comforted me so often and fly away. I was enabled to look up, never down. Anyway, you may still think and dream, even when in pain, stuffed with medication and without a so called scientifically based prognosis. I chose to follow that shining star appearing for me at night, and thereby focusing on turning inspiration into reality".
Like a dream walker, with great courage and following her self-created exercise and health regime, Lind managed to overcome a major part of the severe consequences from the accident. Always straight in the face of a multitude of adverse circumstances. After a struggle of many years she begins to re-emerge from the shadows by composing her star-lit dream into the poem and song "The Feeling of MIZPAH".
