This stunning piece of art was so therapeutic to read as we head into year 4 of a pandemic that some folks have forgotten about, but that still holds so much of my mental energy every single day.

Every page brought back the moments that have happened since 2020. There may not be a lot of words, but every single one is so powerful, and every piece of art is so important, and combined - this is perfection.
