"Dear Readers, I'm surprised to meet you here, after all these years. I've waited all this time for you, just trying to keep busy until the day when you would arrive, faithful as a cloistered bride. A lot of people have asked what this magazine is about, and for that I have no succinct, unified answer. Mostly, I wanted to feature and give recognition to all the talented people I've met: writers, artists, musicians, poets, photographers and the aspirational. There is a lack of opportunity for these people to present themselves exactly as they want to, to give free rein to their imagination, and to indulge in personal projects. So instead of forcing a theme upon them, I wanted to let their own contributions shape the magazine so that it too could be free to grow as naturally as a plant towards sunlight. No artificial constraints. Let's simply see what develops here. Instead of typical informative content, we wanted to show the artists in their creative capacity. What's the use of taking a talented person with a unique perspective and then barraging them with mundane questions about their background, their studies? We want to show you the inner workings of their mind, the best and highest within them. Each of the featured artists is working toward a life where they can find support for their art, so we've included some contact information. If you're interested in a print or a book, or something more personal, please feel free to reach out to them."
