"What now? I am out with lanterns, looking for myself. But here’s the thing about carrying light with you: No matter where you go, and no matter what you find—or don’t find—you change the darkness just by entering it. You clear a path through it....
A quote from Emily Dickinson that begins the lovely new memoir of poet, Maggie Smith. I picked up her book on vacation over the summer and finished within a couple of days. What some are calling a 'divorce memoir' actually discredits the profound truths of self-discovery in life's second chapter.
Join me for a bonus discussion with Maggie Smith as she explores: "the power of learning to come home to yourself."
