I am finding myself in the darkness.
I am finding myself in the light.
Glittering fragments of wholeness:
a mosaic of every self
that I have been and have yet to be.
Though I am still arranging my pieces,
I am finally becoming
who I have always wanted to be:
a version of me--
a handcrafted masterpiece
of breaking and healing--
that I can wholeheartedly
L O V E
in my shadow and in my light.
MOSAICS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT is the emotionally evocative debut collection of poetry and prose by A. W. Jones about healing from the things that break us and how the gift of being broken allows us to rebuild ourselves into the unique masterpiece that enables the fulfillment of our greater joy and purpose. Based on her personal healing journey, Jones deftly and lyrically chronicles the struggles of navigating life through complex childhood trauma, mental health challenges, love and loss, and the dark night of the soul. Filled with raw honesty and vulnerability, MOSAICS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT is a testament to the soul's inherent ability to make whole what is broken and to find inspiration and purpose in the darkest of shadows, the brightest of lights, and everything in between.
