The Light We Choose To See is the second collection of poems from author Melissa Brannlund. Following her debut poetry collection, Lifelines: Poems for Life, Loss, and Love, which was co-authored with her brother Michael Johnson and published in 2023, this new poetry collection is her first solo poetry project.
Healing is not all love and light. Real healing only begins when we have the courage to face our shadows, embracing our deepest wounds and transmuting this pain into power.
You were born with unique gifts. When you step into your power and share these gifts with the world, it gives others permission to do the same. The world doesn’t need more successful people: it needs more healed people who are ready to rise up and shine their light.
The Light We Choose To See is the second collection of poems from Melissa Brannlund. Through these 50 poems, she explores themes of spirituality, shadow work, creativity as a sacred act, reclaiming the divine feminine, and the healing power of nature.
May these words guide you back to yourself. May these words help you shine your light.
