Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the person you remember being no longer feels like the person staring back at you?
In this second chapter of Where Light Still Lives, we turn the lens inward, exploring identity, self-perception, memory, and the versions of ourselves that linger long after we've outgrown them.
Through poems and reflection, we look at the stories we tell about our past, the selves we preserve, and everything that exists beneath the surface of who we appear to be.
Some versions of us never really leave.
They wait in photographs, memories, reflections, and quiet places within us—waiting to be understood, forgiven, or released.
The Lantern Room is open on thejourneywetake.com, where you can find behind-the-scenes content, the full poem “The Ice Beneath,” and more pieces that will be added as this series continues.
Welcome to Mirrors and Memory.
