There is beauty in the stillness. There is beauty in the death of something as it becomes something new.” And in the branches that lay bare and broken, a flutter of life takes wing. With that flutter, the soft voice speaks, “what else might you find?” On I walk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/853eb1e5-019c-4ace-9251-012a8431aa5d/20201208_144214+%282%29.jpg Musing Out Loud - A Walk in the Woods - Make it stand out And suddenly I find that I, myself, flutter alive and take wing to the top of the world.

My spirit continues to flutter. How can I be finding lost pieces of myself when I have been seemingly whole? “The pieces of yourself are never lost - rather, they slumber until you let the life surrounding you flutter your heart and awaken them,” the soft voice whispers. My spirit continues to flutter. My heart continues to smile.

All my life I’ve held a pencil or pen in my hand (or more recently laid my fingertips to a keyboard) and had words flow through my brain and create something that wasn’t there before - something that didn’t exist in the world before that moment. When growing up, I usually was either living in another world through the words of a writer, or creating stories of my own from tales of the mystery of a missing dolphin (with superb illustration, I may add) to historical fiction that was based on the very little history I knew. As life continued, writing became a reed to hold onto as I struggled to stay by the shore and not drift away under the waves of my own perturbed mind. Then, when finding myself ashore, I found that building a connection through sharing my writing with someone else helped lead me to a place I could breathe deeply again, or maybe for the first time. For a long time the stream of stories and words that flowed through my head went silent. With the publication of my first book, The Complete Works of a Lost Girl - an anthology of work written a decade ago - suddenly a storyline broke through my mind and the words raced after it with gusto. So, I started this website as my little corner of the internet where I could share my words for those who happened to scroll, click, and pop in for a minute to see what this little corner is all about. I’m not sure what I’m doing and don’t know if I ever truly will. But, hey, isn’t life a little more fun that way. https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-22 https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/amidst-a-breath daily 0.75 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/b326ca33-f23a-4f3b-877d-d29d3727b679/Picsart_24-09-21_16-35-53-410.jpg https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/store daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/store/p/digital-nature-art-print-what-she-holds-inside monthly 0.5 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/3f57d5ee-4534-4cf9-9c6d-15da0a9f0278/1727370875500.jpg Store - Digital Nature Art Print - What She Holds Inside https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/books daily 0.75 2024-09-16 https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/books/tangled-in-her-veins monthly 0.5 2024-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/190be8fe-b25c-4472-b2fc-dc67928189e8/FB_IMG_1724096984013.jpg https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/books/consumed-by-a-season monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/e7455d23-c286-4440-99a4-ecaf73730bcb/20220313_095521.jpg Books - Consumed by a Season - Make it stand out Cover art by Hannah Goerlitz - discover more of her art on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/artofhannahg/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/2c2fcc8b-12a8-4a69-ab47-8ac8ac9f5cc6/5star-shiny-web.png Books - Consumed by a Season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kelleengoerlitz.com/books/completeworksofalostgirl monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ea126e60d5a4411cf8c6cf/8de3eb2b-97ff-4b15-bf76-df16d80fceff/250162739_10226524091071197_7585941189757468025_n.jpg Books - The Complete Works of a Lost Girl - the complete Works of a Lost Girl The Complete Works of a Lost Girl is a collection of playlets and poems which capture the beauty, tragedy, tension and freedom that is the human experience. This work contains seven playlets ranging from a Greek tragedy to dystopian fiction and sixteen poems of different styles. Over a decade ago the words which make up this body of work were given a voice and encouraged to find their way out of a tumultuous mind and flow out into the world through the tip of a pen. They may be imperfect, but in their imperfection they are true to the mind which created them and the heart which gave them life.
