Atlas of the inner sea
Volume I of The Soul’s Anthology
Travelers first recognize a shoreline.
The inner sea gradually reveals harbors,
estuaries, crossings, deep waters, and open sea.
This atlas was drawn for those willing to continue the voyage.
Each collection charts a different region
of human experience—
grief, wonder, discernment, compassion, courage, becoming.
Twelve regions of human experience.
One unfolding life.
Together they trace
the contours of
becoming
The Archipelago of Becoming
