Unfortunately my home and my parents’ home had flooding of two or more feet during Hurricane Helene. We evacuated before the storm and are safe, but we have a lot of work ahead of us. 805 will be paused for the rest of 2024 or longer. We will not have a November issue. -Stephanie

As October settles over us, we find ourselves craving the simplicity of the season. Cool breezes, warm drinks. The gentle embrace of someone we love. Enjoy our latest issue.

Once,
she held me
in her rippling arms,
soft Mother,
breathing her buoyant,
murmuring life
into my little body.
