i don’t even have words for this, this moved me to tears. like all of life, all the suffering, all the grief, the joy, the beauty, the miracle of birth and the devastation that can accompany the postpartum period, all expressed in this piece by a ten year old girl. i hope she’s doing okay, i wish i could see her other work. what a gift.
