Bouncing back from a personal crisis is a job for the individual, an internal process science is learning more about all the time. Our cover story is reported by Susan Spencer of 48 hours. Reporter mickey glen is as delighted as anyone to see a perfect rainbow over the water. But unlike most of us, she is just as dlietioned to see sharks under the waves. They are powerful and graceful, i mean they are beautiful, beautiful animals. Which is why glen and her husband, both expert divers went on a caribbean scuba expedition 11 years ago, photographing sharks. And i would just slowly cruise around, it is almost like watching horses. And some were almost as big. On day 5, this sevenfoot female got uncomfortably close. Her eye was just maybe eight inches from my eye and she just hung there vertically in the water. Reporter then she struck. And she had a whole right upper body in her mouth, so when she whipped back and forth, my forehead would slam in the water and the back of my head would slam the water. Reporter when the shark suddenly let go she took a chunk of glens arm and shoulder with her. I could see blood everywhere. Unbelievable that you survived. It is. It really is. I mean, that samir cal in itself. Reporter second miracle, six surgeries and a few weeks later, she was back at work. She had no use of her right hand, was haunted by flash blacks, but determined to resume normal life, on the farm, and, yes, even back in the water. Reporter do you consider yourself extraordinarily resilient . I do now. I am proud of the way i handle things. Most of us come nose to nose with sharks only in the safety of an aquarium which is probably a good thing, but bad things happen on dry land as well and people bounce back from trauma all the time. Which raises that age old question, what about me . Faced with a real crisis how resilient would i be . You can train yourself to be more resilient. Okay. What do i do . 20 years ago, psychiatrist dennis chaney, now dean of the sinai medical school. Was studying soldiers and posttraumatic stress and became fascinated with the resilience of those who didnt have it. We came up with a series of factors that seemed to be prevalent in all different populations of people and all different kind of trauma. He says in disasters like 9 11 or hurricane sandy, people are more likely to weather the storm when they have Strong Social support, a strong community, and if there isnt one, real survivors will make their own, especially true, he found, among former pows. Many of them were in solitary confinement for years and they werent allowed to talk, so they developed a way of communicating by tapping on the wall and the analogy is, that Everybody Needs a tap code. A way of developing a support system, a, communicating with other people that are going to help them get through tough times. Even in the toughest times, resilient powss shared something else, unshakable optimism. One of the pows told us we knew we were 8,000 miles away and nobody was going to come get us and we were being held by an enemy, but together, we felt we were going to prevail. Reporter i have been here since 1985 mickey glen certainly can relate to that. If somebody says to you, good lord, mickey how did you come back from this . What do you tell them . I just stumbled upon positive at this and how strong it is, that is a large part of it. How important is the role of optimism in your ability to persevere . It was the most important aspect of my survival. Reporter like mickey glen she beat long odds by staying hopeful, but unlike glen, her trauma was decades long. My mother was mentally ill and self medicated with drugs and alcohol and ended up having with five different men. But focused her rage on her middle child, something you would hardly guess from reginas brave little smile in one of her few childhood photos. She would pick up my body and throw it into a wall and lift up the back of my hair and bang my head into the ground and while i was down as this child she would be kicking me in the ribs and kicking me in the back. School was a safe haven, but as she writes in her recent memoir she recent, was often homeless and couldnt go. How did you survive . How did you feel yourself . We stole food to eat, i was drinking vinegar to survive. Drinking vinegar . I figured out it suppressed my appetite and i would be less hungry with it. By eight she realized her situation was neither her fault nor hopeless. By 14, she had won legal and, emancipation from her mother. She went on to college, then law school, today, she is a top aide to the governor of new york. Reporter do you consider yourself a resilient person . Yes. If i am knocked down, i get up very quickly and just move forward and i always have. Reporter do you think you are unusual . Do you think i am unusual . Reporter not at all. Probably would be George Benanos answer to that, a professor of psychology at Teachers College his studies show people are a lot more resilient than they think. We just did a study on spinal cord injury and resilience was over 50 percent. Reporter thats right. More than half the people he interviewed in the hospital showed no signs of depression or anxiety. Another study of Trauma Centers had equally impressive results. People who are minding their own business suddenly were injured in a single incident trauma, bells and whistles and ambulances and required emergency surgery, very scary stuff and the resilient people would have been more than half of the people. About 60 percent in that study, yes. All of these years later, mickey glen and regina look back at their experiences almost philosophically. Do you get annoyed at people when they get all upset about lifes little issues and absolutely. I do, i do. And i actually think that it is good that they get upset about the small things, because then they didnt experience such pain and suffering. If you could magically erase this whole thing from your life, would you do it . No. I have learned so much through it, i learned that you are who you are on the inside and it doesnt matter how scarred you are on the outside, i mean, those are life lessons that most people dont get to learn. Osgood we are headed north of the border next. Osgood and now a page from our sunday morning almanac, october 20th, 1818, 195 years ago today. The United States and britain signed a treaty establishing the 49th parallel as the border between canada and the western United States from northern minnesota to the base of the stony mountains as they were then called. Later agreements extended the 49degree line west to the pacific, but maintaining those 49 degrees hadnt been exactly straightforward, for one thing, early surveyors working without the benefit of gps, mistakenly marked out a boundary that sition and sation as much as 175 feet north and 784 feet south of where it is supposed to be and also because of a misunderstanding, an isolated patch of land along the lake of the woods called the northwest angle wound up in the u. S. Despite being north of the 49th parallel, though the two countries adjusted the border so that all of Vancouver Island was in can they overlooked nearby Point Roberts, which sticks slightly south of the 49degree line. As a result, Point Roberts was an american outpost cut off from the rest of the usa, it is roughly 1,000 residents had to cross the border every time they go in and out of their own hometown. Just under 4,000 miles from maine to washington and another 1,500 miles, here to include alaska the u. S. Canadian boundary is often celebrated as the worlds longest undefended border between two nations though there have been some changes in the post 9 11 world. You now need either a passport, a passport card or socalled enhanced drivers license or id card to cross causing delays and aggravation for some. And seemingly deserted woods and fields are now monitored by infrared cameras and motion detectors. Even sew it is still one of the least intimidating borders in the whole world. Ahead, we journey into the world of magritte. This portion of sunday morning is sponsored by hp. Its time to build a better enterprise. Osgood when magritte is the signature on a painting chances are it is a mindbending picture demanding a closer look. Ours comes from reporter when is a kiss not exactly a kiss . A landscape more than just a landscape . Or a portrait something, well, surreal . In the world of belgian painter rene magritte, nothing is what it seems. Magritte is all about making pictures that make you think about pictures. He is the artist who looks at ordinary objects but in these extraordinary ways. Reporter like a fireplace with a locomotive dashing out under full steam, or this portrait of a manmade of a bird cage. This picture epitomizes sort of the way magritte creates very clear pictures and the longer you look the more you realize their meaning is absolutely unclear. Reporter and, anne is the curator of the mystery of the order, an exhibition at the museum of modern museum in new york that focuses on the evolution of magrittes work from 1926 to 1938. It is a time when he makes quantitatively and conceptually more work in more modes, more variety than he ever has before. It is a period when magritte becomes magritte. Rene magritte was born in lecene a small town in bell uh yum, in 19. His father was a textile merchant and when a magritte was 13 his mother committed suicide. I think what was probably even more impactful on him than the event of the death itself is that he would remain, when he was a young boy, locked in a room with this depressed woman. Honestly, if you wished to read back into the work, look at the type of spaces magritte is depicting and think about how clause voluntary to bic they are. Klaus to bic they are. In 1926. Magritte joined andre, Salvador Dali and other artists in paris and became known as the surrealist creating unsuspected often dream like imagery. You both have a self image of magritte practicing his craft, at the say time, same time you have an image of his conceptual process because when you look of course he is staring at an egg but what is he painting . He is painting a bird. Challenging the viewers perception of reality would become magrittes hallmark. He was something of a paradox, while his works defied convention, there was nothing of the artistic bohemian ab him. He often painted in a suit and was married to the same woman georgette for 45 years. Magritte lived a secluded life and he died in 1967, but his whimsical, playful, mindbending images had already been embraced by popular culture. His apple was the inspiration for the beatles apple record logo and rockout covers mimicked his design. And how about this eye . Looks familiar . When someone asked him what he thought about cbs appropriating his painting, the false mirror of the eye filled with sky, the famous eye was based on his painting. On his painting. And he sort of felt indifferent about it because cbs ended up with was just a symbol on a background that was aiming to start something or brand something where his painting had no purpose other than poetry. Billionaire and avid collector wilbur ross understands that poetry, he owns 25 magrittes. Even andy warhol had a magritte and i think you can argue that pop art couldnt have occurred while magritte, freeing magritte whoever would have painted a soup can. Are you the largest private collector of magritte . I dont know, probably the most active one right now. Right. It is when you get obsessed you get obsessed. Two of rosss paintings are on loan to the exhibition, which is the first solo magritte show in new york city in more than 20 years. What do you want people to feel and be left with after the show . I would like them to understand what a great modern artist magritte is. He is always saying a picture is just a picture, an image is not the same as the thing itself. In other words, look and think, because in the world of rene magritte, everything is open to interpretation. Osgood coming up i thinker. Osgood geist is seeing red, but first. Pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, jalapenos, bacon, tomato and avocado. I call it, the avocado da vinci. Create your omlart with dennys build your own omelette menu. Supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s . It is something quite atrocious. It is sunday morning on cbs, and here again is charles osgood. Osgood that is Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews singing supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s . From the 1964 movie mary poppins. It stands to reason the writers behind that very long song titles would have a long series of hits, songs that struck a cord with our nancy giles. It is a song world after all. Their songs are sung the world over, so infectious, so unforgettable and so ubiquitous that, well, sometimes they can be down right annoying. It is a small, small world. Now you say people want to can kiss you or kill you. Oh, sure. They call
