For over a decade, I kept my experience of sexual abuse a complete secret. I needed to disassociate and pretend it didn’t happen, because if it did, it was real. And I had no idea how to face that truth. As my physical health declined and I exhausted every avenue for a diagnosis or root cause, my family and I packed up and moved far from my home province to a little sanctuary on the ocean. It was there—on the land by the Bay of Fundy, with the highest tides in the world—that every stitch of every seam began to unravel. My body had been screaming for years under the weight of what I had stored.

In the depths of human experience, where shadows loom and light flickers, lies the terrain of the soul.

Love, in all its forms, is a recurring theme – its beauty, its brutality, its capacity to both heal and harm.
