A mother by trade, and writer by nature. I watch life pass, the minutes ticking by, as if time were words-streaming into mind, like pen on paper. Writing is my attempt at etching these moments into history-using my work to share the intimacy, simplicity, and  complexity of humanity. I strive to convert my creative energy, and passion for poetry, into a vessel that gives back to the world that has so humbly given me life. 

"I've grown to understand that both beauty  and pain follow each of us through life, it is neither of these things that will define who we are, it is perception and what we make of it, that determines our destination." 
-Cahla Downs
