Product Information

For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password. There will be many mountains to climb, but always make time to find the pastures where you can rest. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. In each small moment, whether in the light or the dark, you can make room for becoming, for breathing, for stumbling, and for simply being–for there is grace, today and every day. With every turn of the page, Instagram poet Morgan Harper Nichols invites you to trust that there is purpose in every moment, knowing the Light will always find you.

Acclaimed artist, poet, musician and Wall Street Journal and Publisher’s Weekly bestselling author Morgan Harper Nichols has created her life’s work around the stories of others. This isn’t so much of a normal content warning but this book has text illustrated that is often quite small and rathe cursive to read, just a heads up. Even if your hands shake, and your knees are weaker from the fall, you can still trade your fears of tomorrow with hope for today: the courageous decision to climb on anyway out of the pit of anxious thoughts.

I feel MHN's poetry is more resonant in combination with her art and in the very short pithy form as it appears on her Instagram. There's some stuff with potential here, but the whole thing feels like a collection of first drafts. All Along You Were Blooming is a striking collection of illustrated poetry and prose, inviting you to "stumble into the sunlight" and delight in the wild and boundless grace you've been given.

Nearly everything Morgan creates and shares today is from this project, and she always keeps the names and stories anonymous.I’ve been a fan of Morgan Harper Nichol’s work on Instagram for years, so I had high hopes for this collection. Or was God telling us something in those whispers to “be still,” that all along, it was necessary, to slow down, trust, and heal.
