editor’s note

Dear Issue Three readers, 
Welcome the start of spring with our issue inspired by healing, survival, growth in restoration. 
Whether you find yourself entranced in hazy weather, fluffy rice, or crossing bridges, we hope
you find something that resonates with you. Thank you to everyone who has made this issue 
possible. To our submitters, readers, and fellow journals — the incredible community that has 
fostered this magazine into what it is today. 

And thank you for reading, always. Please enjoy Issue Three, Healing. 

Sincerely, 

Emily Pedroza
