Praise for The Unfolding
"THE UNFOLDING is a moving, fresh, unique poetry collection and a generous invitation into the mind of the poet. Both a galvanizing wake-up call and a tender lullaby."--Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed
"What I love about Arielle's writing is that she takes readers on this journey step by step, filled with wisdom and grace. This book will help anyone seeking to unfold into their bloom."--Morgan Harper Nichols, author of All Along You Were Blooming and Peace is a Practice
"Arielle's words are a balm. Somehow they soothe, but also light the fire for growth. That's an achievement."--Jedidiah Jenkins, New York Times bestselling author of To Shake The Sleeping Self and Like Streams to the Ocean
About The Unfolding
Arielle Estoria is known for her moving and empowering words that encourage women and all people to be confident in who they are, compassionate about where they've been, and loving about who they are becoming. In this stunning collection of essays, poems, and meditations, beautifully illustrated in earth tones, Estoria tenderly reveals the places in her life where she has been broken open, mended back together in new ways, and shows us how this process of "unfolding" helps us discover and return home to the person we were always meant to be.
In order to let something in,
you have to let some things go
In order to heal, you must hurt,
In order to grow, you will experience discomfort
and all of this is to make more room for hope
less room for perfectionism and more room for simply being.
This is the Unfolding
