The Rings We Carry
Life is written in rings, much like the ones inside a tree. Each tells a story of growth. Some rings are wide, reflecting abundance. Others are narrow, etched by hardship. Together, they form the essence of who we are. This is shared in The Rings We Carry.
Available on AMAZON.
This book is an invitation to explore the connection between life and resilience using the metaphor of tree rings to explore growth and imperfection. Each poetic reflection serves as a gentle reminder that the marks we carry are not flaws. They are evidence of living, healing, and evolving.
The Rings We Carry will resonate with anyone who has felt broken or incomplete. It offers the wisdom that healing is not linear. Instead, it may spiral like rings growing outward from a center. In these poems, vulnerability becomes artistry, and each scar becomes a place where light enters. Kusma’s voice is compassionate and grounded.
Every page offers a moment of inspiration and introspection. It reminds you to honor your journey, scars, and all. Like the tree, you are shaped by seasons of light and storms. Each layer of your life matters.
Parents, readers of philosophy, reflective souls, and lovers of metaphor will find this collection richly textured and deeply meaningful. It will become a touchstone—a subtle, quiet guide to recognising that what we carry can also carry us toward something greater.
