WELCOME TO THE

GARDEN

Poems and Meditations for Life During and After Diagnosis

Take this journey with me

An invitation

For the part of you that thinks you are alone,

I have cleared a seat. 

I wrote ‘My Dark Garden’ for me, for you, for us. 

My wolf whistle to wholeness after diagnosed as

legally blind and disabled. I wanted to pull my own

book down off the shelf and hear what I had to say.

A break from the bombardment of everyone else’s opinion

about how I should live my life now. 

I needed to feel into this for me- Breathe and grab my pen. 

These poems helped me drop into my voice and

plant seeds in the dark.

Lanterns on the path

My Dark Garden is both a mirror and a lantern—an offering

for anyone walking through diagnosis, uncertainty, or transformation.

These words invite you to breathe deeper, listen inward, and connect to

your own garden.

Upon purchase, there is a link on the connect page to the

guided, recorded meditations I wrote for you and

I will be with you on the inside.

Love,

Mary Kathryn

The path is ready for you.
