Becoming Spring: Mythic Stories, Art to Color and Trace, and a Journal Paperback – March 15, 2026

Becoming Spring is a companion for the season - an invitation to slow down, listen, and arrive fully where you are.Part book, part art object, part journal, Becoming Spring unfolds in four interwoven sections designed to reconnect the reader with the movement, color, and quiet renewal of the season.The first section offers a collection of mythic short stories that move between the everyday world and a luminous other realm. In these reflective tales, the author visits her mother, who has crossed into another dimension, where they walk, talk, and witness the unfolding of spring together. Woven through these stories are threads of the author’s Iranian and Jewish heritage, grounding the season in cultural memory, ritual, and imagination. From pomegranate trees and Persian ice cream shops to Passover tables and fields of poppies. The section concludes with Mythic Daydreaming, a more poetic and exploratory piece that drifts through memory, imagination, and the dreamlike edge between worlds.The second section features spring-inspired drawings that may be colored, contemplated, or simply held as visual companions to the season.The third section presents ink washes intended as a reverse coloring book, a meditative practice where the reader traces the shapes they perceive, using attention and intuition to reconnect with the present moment.The final section offers blank pages, inviting response, reflection, sketching, and journaling. Becoming Spring is meant to be carried, returned to, and made personal - becoming a living record of where the reader is as new life unfolds.This book is part of a seasonal series, each volume offering a creative and contemplative entry point into the rhythms of the year.Becoming Spring is not meant to be rushed. It is a beginning, a spark, an invitation to ground into the season, and into yourself. Read more
