Silence Into Myth
"Life energy returned to my body, like a tide remembering the moon...."
My story…
In 2019, my life looked good from the outside.
Steady. Structured. Safe.
And yet, something essential was missing.
I stood on the edge of a burnout not because life was hard,
but because it was unfulfilled —
because my days were full, but my spirit was not.
So I did the most unreasonable thing I could think of.
I quit my day job overnight
and turned toward the one place where my breath
still knew how to move: the page.
When I began to write, life energy returned to my body
like a tide remembering the moon.
Words loosened what had gone numb.
My soul, long quiet, began to speak again.
Out of that listening came three poetry collections.
They were written first for myself —
as all true writing is —
as a way to heal, to stay, to survive.
But I offer them in the hope that they might meet others
in their own quiet rooms,
so you know you are not alone on this journey.
My novel Lost & Found was born from the same place —
a story about losing your way
and discovering that what you were looking for
was already asking to be lived.
I write for myself, yes.
But it does not end with me.
I am not the source — I am the conduit.
I write to let something move through me,
something that touches what aches, what longs,
what is still unnamed in others.
This is where silence becomes myth —
where ordinary life meets the extraordinary through words,
where what is felt but unspoken finds its shape,
and where fire sparks in the hearts of those who read.

“Life energy returned to my body” is such a blunt, true line. Like, yep, that’s the whole thing right there, no drama needed.
Oh man, just what I needed to read, as if I wasn't already on the verge of quitting the day job. I wish it were that easy for me. I'm giving myself about a year or so until I do that. Thanks for writing this and sharing this read. Our own myths are mostly unwritten, or being written.
