You Are Never Alone on The Journey: "In the twinkling of an eye, lost in a cloud of haze and dreams; Never Alone on The Journey: "In the twinkling of an eye, lost in a cloud of haze and dreams; We will be there, calling out and sharing a listening ear; we will be there, guiding your path as you journey far. We will be there, shining a beacon, pushing forward, calling you back when you journey too far, losing your way, Frustrated, crashing, crying, shaking, but not alone; we will be there, shining a beacon, calling you back, Calling you home, we will be there reminding you that you belong." - Phoenix.
Rev. Phoenix Bell-Shelton Biggs is an author, minister, and spiritual leader whose writing is a powerful expression of healing, resistance, and radical love. Their work is rooted in the belief that our stories—especially those shaped by queerness, faith, and the pursuit of justice—are sacred texts. Through poetry and prose, Phoenix speaks to the soul’s deep longing for connection, truth, and transformation.
​
With language that is both tender and fierce, they create space for readers to breathe, weep, laugh, and rise. Their words embrace the sacred complexity of grief and joy, trauma and healing, struggle and sanctuary. As a queer, nonbinary, BIPOC person of faith, Phoenix draws from lived experience and spiritual depth, crafting reflections that uplift the inherent dignity of every body and spirit.
