You are not behind. You are not lost. You are simply becoming rooted.
Rooted is a sacred continuation of the soulwork begun in The Bloom Within — a poetic companion for those who are no longer rushing to bloom, but learning to stay. Through nine symbolic short stories, whispered affirmations, mandalas, and soul-nourishing reflection prompts, this book gently guides the reader inward — toward grounding, stillness, and deep self-trust.
This is a book for the in-between seasons — the quiet ones, the invisible ones, the ones that don’t look like growth but are full of it. It offers space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the steady part of you that doesn’t need to be seen to be real.
Inside, you’ll find:
Nine soft parables exploring themes of return, resilience, quiet healing, and emotional anchoring Contemplative journaling pages and reflection prompts Black-and-white mandalas and symbolic illustrations to color and contemplate Poetic whispers that speak to the part of you still unfolding
Whether you're recovering from burnout, tending silent grief, navigating change, or simply learning to come home to yourself — Rooted is a space to return to. Again and again. Without rushing. Without judgment. Without performance.
Let this book remind you:
• You are not stuck.
• You are not late.
• You are not broken.
• You are exactly where the soil of your soul has been waiting.
Rooted is for:
The ones who hold it all together but feel quietly tired The bloom-late hearts who grow at their own pace The sensitive, the spiritual, and the silently strong Anyone who needs permission to slow down and still be growing
This is not a book of answers. It is a space to listen — to the roots beneath your own becoming.
Available in paperback and hardcover exclusively on Amazon and IngramSpark.
Hi, I’m Moses Peraza—author of The Bloom Within and Rooted, and the creator behind Still Light Press. My books are crafted as gentle companions for anyone moving through seasons of healing, growth, and self-discovery.
I believe that healing isn’t a destination, but a quiet unfolding—a return to your own sacred timing. My work is rooted in reflection, poetic storytelling, and mindful prompts designed to help you slow down, breathe, and remember that what the storm forgot to break can still bloom within you.
When I’m not writing or drawing, you’ll often find me journaling, wandering through nature, or sharing cozy moments with my daughter, Leanna, who inspires much of my creative life.
Thank you for stopping by. If you enjoy soulful books that hold space for your journey, I invite you to follow me here on Goodreads for updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and new releases.
