the light in you is all i see.

the light in you is all i see.

oh hi, i'm amy mcmullen,

woman greeting you with a sunset behind

 a picture maker and 

story-shaker 

 

i help people tell their truest stories 

and un-learn the ones that hinder them.

The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.

-James Baldwin

“i am doing the something i learned early to do, i am paying attention to small beauties, whatever i have, as if it were our duty to find things to love, to bind ourselves to this world.”
sharon olds, from Little things


“i wish i could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”
