A story about reflection, renewal, and the quiet alchemy of healing.

Through poetic prose and vivid imagery, Lori Clarke shares an original fable about a warrior who must face her own brokenness and meet what she once turned away from. The River and Eye is a symbolic journey through battle, loss, surrender, and the unexpected ways love and clarity can return.

In this creative reflection from The Upside Down, you’ll be invited to explore what happens when the towers of our old life fall—and how something new begins to grow in their place. This is a story for anyone who’s learning to slow down, to listen, and to let the ground teach its rhythm again.
