this collection of poems, prose,
and untold stories started as a writing ritual.
gentle passage into the past
in an effort to release untold truths
manifesting as creative blocks.
it turned into an exploration
through my first 18 years.
pieces of the remembering, the loving,
the praying, the questioning,
the surviving, the hurting, the healing...
packed into these pages
and placed here in your hands.

PACK LIGHT, friends.
