David Czarnecki

David is a poet, husband, father, a person of lived experience with a mood disorder, a peer mental health counselor, advocate, and group facilitator. He has a long practice in Vipassana meditation and dharma studies. His own journey from illness to wellness was greatly assisted by wise counsel from others like him, as well as therapists, doctors, spiritual teachings, and the practice of mindfulness. He regularly holds writer’s workshops for those in recovery so that they can find their voice. Giving back to others is the true redemption. This book began in one of those workshops. All the poems come from experience, and it is his hope that others find within the pages words that help them assemble the language of an inner life and find meaning and purpose that sustains and nourishes.
