I have found the one whom my soul loves…❤️ by @ishmaelsantos_

When I started writing, I had no idea what I was doing. I wrote, rewrote, deleted entire chapters, then wrote them again. I learned that editing isn’t just about fixing—it’s about listening to your own voice and trusting it, even when you’re tempted to change everything. Some days I’d stare at these pages wondering what stays, what goes, what deserves to see the light of day.

This is what the creative process actually looks like: messy, uncertain, full of false starts and small victories. It’s not the polished final product you see on the shelf—it’s all the attempts that didn’t work until suddenly, one day, they did.

Every writer, every artist, has their own version of this chaos. Mine just happens to fit in these notebooks and cover designs that never made it. But here’s what I discovered: the magic isn’t in getting it right the first time. It’s in showing up, again and again, until the story finds its way.
What does your creative process look like? I’d love to see the beautiful mess behind your art.

Art is a form of thinking for those wishing to express something - Art isn’t just art but a mechanism through which one can communicate what words fail to describe…

This book is for those ready to receive wonder from others, from nature, from the questions that refuse easy answers. It’s about remembering that our greatest service flows from serving others - that when we create something beautiful with relentless passion and share it freely, we offer gifts to the universe itself.

Simply put, it is for anyone who has ever paused before a sunset, a piece of music, or a stranger’s smile and felt something stir within - a recognition that there is more to this world than meets the eye, if only we remember how to look.

Each conversation affirmed this truth: we are all writing our stories daily, line by line, choice by choice. And tomorrow, I continue writing mine… ✍🏾

It’s official! Eyes of Wonder will be in your hands Saturday, July 12.

From contemplating how a butterfly’s visit carries silent wisdom to exploring how silence itself holds conversations we rarely hear, each piece encourages readers to pause and witness the magic hiding in plain sight. It acknowledges how mundane moments can suddenly transform into profound revelations when viewed through a lens of genuine wonder.

I can’t wait for you to experience the stories, reflections, and discoveries that have shaped these pages. Mark your calendars—something beautiful is coming your way… by @ishmaelsantos_

I can’t express how excited I am for each and every one of you to read ‘Eyes of Wonder.’ I feel immense gratitude and joy because this book means the world to me, and I hope that as you begin to turn the pages, something will unfold for you as well.

This book is for you and the world—it’s a gift to humanity. We all play a part in shaping the world, and if you genuinely believe in something, do it to the best of your abilities, complete it, and share it with the world.
