Synopsis

Of Salt and Sanctity explores the slow work of unlearning—the moment we stop resisting the world's complexity and start inhabiting it.

For those who found the "sanctity" they were taught brittle and exclusive, these poems offer a different path. Here, rigid holiness dissolves into the salt of lived experience. By shedding both the safety of naivety and the armor of cynicism, this collection moves toward a state of radical presence.

This is a meditation on the beauty that’s found when old confines break away. It is an invitation to a life where the shadow is no longer a source of shame, but a vital part of the whole—a life that honors both the poem of the flower and the primal song of the beast.

Intro: becoming

there is a shift in the wind,
a rumble underfoot.
things are changing—
for better or worse.

a consciousness rising
from the depths of my center;
a pull and push
of earth and wave.
the disintegration of
salt and sanctity
in the same tidal pool.

i can no longer be naive.
i can no longer be cynical.
i can only be.

dark and light combining,
the shadows becoming
just as beautiful as the shine.
eyes that now see the divine collage.

a purpose that reads the poems of the flower,
and sings the songs of the beast.
