I’m Ophelia Brown—a poet, violinist, and storyteller drawn to the quiet spaces where memory, love, and spirit overlap. I write to make sense of things I’ve felt deeply but couldn’t always name, and to offer language for those moments when silence isn’t enough.

My books are often layered—part truth, part vision, part emotional history. I write for people who’ve lived through hard things but never lost their softness… or at least not for good.

My latest book, We Birth Us, is a project close to my heart. It weaves together pieces of grief, rebirth, spiritual connection, and the kind of love that doesn’t fit inside one lifetime.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually playing music, daydreaming, or sharing quiet moments with people I love. And if any pa

Quite an Undertaking

I consider recording almost two hundred pages of poems, quite an undertaking! But I think its something to aim for. I am sure my fans would really enjoy it. I have quite a few fans on Reverbnation who might love to buy an audio book. And the price of the audio book is so affordable! Only $3.99! I am considering having Mr. Ducker at the local recording studio to record me in a few sessions to ensur Read more of this blog post »

Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov
“Failure to recognize one's own absolute significance is equivalent to a denial of human worth; this is a basic error and the origin of all unbelief. If one is so faint-hearted that he is powerless even to believe in himself, how can he believe in anything else? The basic falsehood and evil of egoism lie not in this absolute self-consciousness and self-evaluation of the subject, but in the fact that, ascribing to himself in all justice an absolute significance, he unjustly refuses to others this same significance. Recognizing himself as a centre of life (which as a matter of fact he is), he relegates others to the circumference of his own being and leaves them only an external and relative value.”
― Vladimir Solovyov, The Meaning of Love

“Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.”

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
