“Sometimes depth comes from being hollowed out: it is our empty, lonely places, acquainted with loss and grief, that come to be our hallowed vessels of mercy, stillness and settled joy.” Hollowed/Hallowed original poem by farmette founder Loren Profit Smith - black letterpress on duck egg blue folded paper

“you are going to make it through this” - black letterpress on soft gray folded paper
