With unapologetically honest reflections and revelations-Morgan Richard Olivier embraces the tears, trials, and triumphs one experiences when seeking development, direction, and detachment. The Tears That Taught Me poetry and prose collection guides readers as they dig through the roots of their struggles, truths, faith, and life lessons. Through pruning, positioning, and reframing-we are able to blossom as we make peace with our pain and accept the greater purpose of every experience and emotion endured.
