Three pieces of writing for you.

Motherhood & being seen//

Musings on loneliness & self exploration//

Transformation is slow//

These are three pieces of writing from my poetry & Insights book that I’m currently back in the groove of editing and adding to. My friend @kj.stone_ released her poetry book called “the week before I bleed” recently and I pick it up every night from my bedside table and read a few pages.

Last night it had me in tears. It reminded me the power of poetry and art through writing. And had me reading through my own “forgotten” book today.

Many of my own words from the years passed bringing me to tears as I was transported back to the early days of my son Rafi.

I have a lot of resistance to bringing it out into the world. Art vulnerability. But also that many of the writings and insights I couldn’t write again. They were so specific to that moment in time, I couldn’t rewrite if I tried.

I’d like to start sharing some here, for those who are supporting this publication. I’d love to hear if you resonate, if and when you do.

Love Kat
