“I didn’t realize how much I needed Rosemerry’s words to remind me of what most matters. This beautiful collection of poems reveals the power of saying Yes to life, the blessings of loving without holding back. Each offering is a powerful transmission: our spirit is invited forward to cherish—praise!—both the darkness and luminosity of existence. Especially in these shadowy times, The Unfolding is pure medicine for our tender, awakening hearts.” — Tara Brach, mindfulness teacher and author of Radical Compassion
