Insight

The world is perpetually changing,
our lives in continuous flux.
Peace dwells in nooks and crannies,
so obscure it’s overlooked.

I searched the whole world over,
for peace throughout the haze.
I discovered its splendid beauty,
when within I turned my gaze.

In myself I found acceptance,
and the world soon followed suit.
The peace I sought was in my heart,
Self-love was all it took.

I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology & Creativity Studies and I write poetry, flash fiction, short stories, novellas, and flash memoir with themes based on overcoming childhood trauma; physical, psychological, and spiritual healing; loss and recovery of voice; and relationships. Many of my writings focus on psychological drama with an occasional paranormal twist. I also dabble in nature photography. My spirit lives in my creativity.
