Publisher's Synopsis
The journey of becoming is not linear. There is no predetermined timeline or mile markers along the way. And each new challenge comes into focus only as it approaches. The beauty of this journey, though, is that we aren't alone. Others cross our path and facilitate our expansion. When we meet these divine mirrors we are left forever changed. They remind us about the bits and pieces of ourselves that we've lost along the way. The lover, the hater, the jealous, the dreamer, and even the shameful are illuminated in the most astonishing of ways.
It can be hard to let go of such profound experiences, even when they are painful, or perhaps, especially when they are painful. However, facing grief allows us to pick up those forgotten fractals so that we may take them with us on the next phase of our journey. Being in relationship with others in love, in loss, in longing, and even in anger has the capacity to alchemize the human experience into something greater than ever imagined. This collection of poems is about the important relationships in our lives, the ones that break us, the ones that make us, and the ones that bring light to the dark.
