Overview

Fragile as glass. Enduring as memory. The Mind's Keepsake: Glass Gardens is a curated collection of quotes and micro-poems that wander through the quietest rooms of the heart, the ones we don't often name, but feel every day. These pages explore love in its many forms: the kind that arrives gently, the kind that changes us, and the kind that leaves behind echoes we carry long after it's gone. They sit with loss without rushing it, honoring how grief reshapes us while still making room for growth. Time moves softly here, sometimes as a wound, sometimes as a balm, always as something that leaves its mark. Within this collection, you'll find reflections on: the tenderness of being truly seen the ache of being forgotten or left behind the courage it takes to love openly the quiet resilience found in starting again The Mind's Keepsake: Glass Gardens is written for those who feel deeply and often silently. For the ones who carry too much inside, who move through the world with sensitivity in a place that rarely rewards it. For those still learning that softness is not weakness, and that healing does not require becoming hardened. This is a book meant to be read slowly. Returned to. Open it when your heart feels heavy. Return when it feels full. The Mind's Keepsake: Glass Gardens is not just something you read. It is something you keep. Something that stays with you.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
