Welcome to our group Beneath the Surface! A space for us to connect and share with each other.

This page will showcase creative writing pieces by Lindsey Geier or those who want to share their own writing and art. Lindsey also connects her writing through the thread of Water (and Nature) to her life experiences. Lindsey creatively writes from emotion and uses it as a cathartic tool. She hopes it will inspire you in some way by relating, understanding, or feeling. We may also ask to share artwork and writing from Beneath the Surface on our Instagram with owners permission.

We hope you feel called to share!
