Haircut In A Dream, written by Rick Levinson

The Hidden Gems Podcast is deeply honored to be featuring a short story written by the internationally acclaimed artist, Rick Levinson!    Rick Levinson's Artist Statment:Stories. Real and Imagined. With Pictures. At the basis of all of my art there are stories. They combine my actual life experiences, voluntarily imagined ones, and sometimes simply my unfiltered dreams. I have never believed that a person can and must do only one thing in life. I have led parallel careers. The first is pulmonary/critical care medicine. Formally trained, totally truth-based, tangible, and real. The second: making art. Totally imaginary, made up, but most self-revealing when it combines with what has been real in my life and what has escaped from my subconscious. Although often asked, I never felt the need to prioritize or even separate these lives.
