Photography and Poem By Jessica Holleque

What if these walls, Were never meant to fit The places where imagination swells? Searching outside the boundaries, I found ones whose wilder rhythms hold truths expansive. Within their canopy was space for peace. May I look back to find, That while I may have felt adrift, My journey was an invitation, To a shared table, planted on nourishing ground. That beneath the soil our stories entangle, Holding each other loosely. A unique and broadening community, seemingly random as dice, Yet exploring curiously and calm.
