We are all made of changing light. Like the moon, we wax and wane through seasons of doubt, wonder, love, loss, and rebirth - each phase revealing a different truth about who we are. This is a journey through sixteen phases of the human spirit - a lyrical reflection on growth, emotion, and the quiet transformations that shape us. Through stories, thoughts, and poetic insight, it explores what it means to be whole even when we feel incomplete, to find light even when we are fading, and to keep moving even when we cannot see the sun. This book is a mirror of our becoming - for those who have ever felt both shadow and shine, and still chose to rise.

Writing is a terrifying act of creation that requires us to push past the fear of being known and bare our souls to others. It gives us a glimpse into our multifaceted lives, both as writers who share their stories and as readers who bring their own unique experiences to what they read. Writing serves as a beautiful connection to each other and our world. This collection of poetry and prose is intended for those of us who feel we have lost our connections and sometimes feel a little less than human because of it.
