The First Mystery




This tract was mailed back from Seattle. The train-riding author covered her tract in poetry, thoughts, and snippets of conversation, including this:

"friends are like stars, although they aren't every day visible, they are still there"
and
"she said to me that she is crying almost every day... not because she is depressive or sick and tired of life, but she loves every single day and is afraid of dying too quickly"


I opened the tract with Davina Pallone, the artist who designed this tract (there are five editions-- she used paper that she made from actual plants as part of the design.) We were totally giddy looking over the comments. Marissa Bell Toffoli is the author of the poems in this tract, but lives in San Francisco, and hasn't gotten to see the finished tract yet.
