“And now
after everything:
I know this:
There is a reason
I am here.
And that reason
is bigger than me.
So I will carry on
with great faith
beyond what I can see.
in pursuit of bold courage,
on the adventure
of the journey.”
― Morgan Harper Nichols

“She no longer had the desire to bend herself into the frame of photographs where she was unwelcome”
― Morgan Harper Nichols, All Along You Were Blooming: Thoughts for Boundless Living

“And here I am,
in the middle of it all
learning to see the beauty and truth
in all I do not understand,
I will hold hope within my hands
that I can be here in the betweens
and find joy right where I am
and know endless, boundless peace
running wild over everything.”
― Morgan Harper Nichols

“and perhaps
what made her beautiful
was not her appearance
or what she achieved,
but in her love
and in her courage,
and her audacity
to believe:
no matter
the darkness
around her,
Light ran wild
within her,
and that was the way
she came alive,
and it showed up
in everything.”
― Morgan Harper Nichols
