“It is because of this I know that death is not the ending but the middle of an upward arc. I live as a witness, devoted to midwifing the story we are still creating.” 😭 So powerful, Ashley. Thank you.

Oh, dearest Ashley. I witness your pain. I hold it in my heart, too. Your poetry and reflection are truly so stunning. I pray for your health. For a bright future that holds less suffering for you. And, selfishly, I hope The Way Back Books can be home to your debut collection one day. What a honor and blessing that would be to me and so many!!!! Sending you love and light in this holy and hard living.
