The Gospel of Rose
The Gospel of Rose is a forthcoming book exploring healing as a return to embodied truth after religious harm. Through story and reflection, it examines how leaving rigid belief systems often involves learning to trust your body, emotions, and inner authority again.
This work does not offer a new doctrine or framework. It traces the layered process of shedding shame, reclaiming desire, and restoring relationship with the self after spiritual control.
At its core, The Gospel of Rose asks a simple question:
What if your body was telling the truth all along?
An excerpt from The Gospel of Rose
Rosefield Reflection 0: The Dream of Belonging
I dream I’m sitting cross-legged in a field of roses, writing.
The view is from the ground.
The stems rise at uneven heights.
Natural. Uncontained. Not overgrown. Alive.
I’m alone, but not lonely.
I’m writing. Just writing.
—
I did not come here to be understood.
I came here to remember
what was once forgotten.
The roses are uneven.
So is the longing within my soft body.
Some days, rising suddenly.
Other days, settling deep,
raw and whole.
I sit in the heart
of everything that shaped me.
This field does not ask me to prove myself.
This ground invites me to stay in my body.
The grief lives here—
not as weakness, but as witness.
not as noise, but as compass.
I sit with it.
Pen in hand,
feet tucked beneath me in prayer;
spine open to the sky,
sacrum open to the ground.
No eyes measure me here.
Only the steady ground of the land
holding my belonging.
I do not write to explain.
I write to reweave the thread
that guided me home.
