WELCOME TO THE
GARDEN
Poems and Meditations for Life During and After Diagnosis
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
