Experience the Collection

4 original drawings & poems

Born from the quiet moments of ordinary beauty that meet us in hard seasons. 

The Inspiration

When we find ourselves in chapters that feel hard at every turn, it seems there is something beautiful that waits for us right where we thought we’d never be. Somewhere in-between letting go of how things were & welcoming in what’s next, there is a quiet kindness in the discomfort of these hard seasons. It’s here in the most unlikely of places that true love & joy can find us & offer us a home - a place at the table to cry & laugh & be enough even when what used to makes us, us seems far off. At the root of this collection is this mysterious belonging that finds us in the quiet, uncomfortable moments of learning to be loved right where we are.

“At the Table”

The Poem

It’s okay

to fall apart

to take life at the pace it’s asking you to take

to feel the ache of tapping out of the race

Because when the old is gone & the new is yet to come

something beautiful is offered as we’re being undone

It’s in these quiet moments that a feast awaits

where the times alone, turn into a belonging greater than ever to be known

where a seat always waits, one that feels like home

open to all, rain or shine

come eat & the bread & drink the wine

- Liz Campbell

“Togetherness”

The Poem

It hurts

to wake up in the middle of trying to survive

to realize the things you once loved are now a hope passing bye

But in the grief of being here

the heart breaks open & welcomes something near

A kindness

hidden in the sweet side of pain

reminds us we don’t have to have it all together to be loved

That is, we don’t have to work & earn & try harder to be enough because love doesn’t need us to be anyone but loved

So on the days you feel broken & wonder if you’ll ever make it through

remember there’s always a place waiting here to come home to

-Liz Campbell

“A Moment to Enjoy”

The Poem

It’s not just in the excitement of fun

or the rush of adventure where goodness comes

It’s in the small and quiet things

The moments where we see nature flourish almost effortlessly

When nothing changes in a day yet, all the sudden we look up to see

the green has gone orange and the baby birds are out of the nest & flying to new trees

And it’s in these quiet things that we are reminded over & over… love is not there, but here

Not waiting for us to get better but sitting & growing with us, little by little

Blooming along side the hurt that holds us while we heal

-Liz Campbell

”Coming Home”

The Poem

When what was is no longer & what will be is not yet seen

There is a deep dependence,

An ache, a need, as we watch what once was begin to leave

It’s there that love waits for you & me

In the form of a hand that reaches out

An embrace that says,

“I love you.

in the lostness…

& in the sadness…

& even when things don’t look the way you wanted them to be.”

Because it’s here in the changing of scenes, that He invites us to dine in the middle of grief

To have a place to call home right where we thought we’d never be.

-Liz Campbell
