Holding Smoke: Abbey's Journal

“If you are reading this, always remember that wonder is not naive childishness. It is resistance.”Abbey Throughout these pages of seemingly random journal entries, Abbey, the mother of Inspector Cherib and wife of Gaspard, reveals a deep inner life and a profound sense of adventure. Abbey has a quiet spiritual imagination. Not necessarily in a strictly doctrinal sense, but through the revelations of mystery, connection, and hidden conversations. A Journal where memories, an encounter, or a loss might all be messengers holding wonder in ordinary moments. Fragments through which Abbey discovers that sometimes the things we cannot hold are the very things that shape and secure us the most.
