In each prison cell, a story.
For those who look, a mirror.
I was imprisoned in Belarus.
But amidst darkness, insight - understanding of who I am and what is true.
When you hear about prisoners, you might read them as powerless, impulsive characters.
But I've found more strength, choice and wisdom in these stories than I'd ever expected...
I'm trying to make sense of what I learnt in that place, and how it applies to life beyond.
Some incredible people are helping me.

A Mother in Prison - Portia Louder finds Clarity and Meaning
Portia and I spoke a lot about freedom.
That didn't happen because we'd experienced it being taken away, but our shared search for internal, personal freedom.
Portia was sentenced to seven years in prison, but the outlook, love and conviction she meditated on there, the resolution of pain, the accountability she embraced, were the lessons of a lifetime.
