Under pressure, it makes nature’s hardest form, diamond. Burned as coal, it can warm a cold night. In the hands of PeeMonster, carbon in the form of graphite can craft entire worlds.

Today, Bai... - [Friday Afternoon Tea](https://ienheduanna.com/article/friday-afternoon-tea/) - As Friday Elliott—owner and head tea witch of Friday Afternoon Tea—hands me a cup, I can’t help recalling Christopher Lloyd’s portrayal of an enigmatic wizard librarian in the 90’s VHS classic The Pagemaster. Lloyd’s eyes twinkled mysteriously as he told an apprehensive Macauley Culkin, “I have a talent for guessing what people need.” While Elliot’s violet curls and bubbly demeanor are a far cry from Lloyd’s cryptic librarian... - [Inheritance](https://ienheduanna.com/article/inheritance/) - She had been full of stories, once upon a time.

For me, tea is synonymous with starting the day, with quality time, and perhaps most importantly, with home and family.

That was eleven months ago,” recalled Romanian-American musician and filmmaker Ingrid Serban, “It’s been quiet.

I breathe it in and out slowly as it does the same to me. There are compasses tied to both of my feet now. They spin wildly, but I don't mind. Only the crows hear me sing. When I step through a hidden gate into the woods the aloneness is gone like Peter Pan’s shadow. The trees, birds, squirrels, bees, and vines all hum like computers in a mainframe room... - [The Art & Science of Home Sewing](https://ienheduanna.com/article/the-art-science-of-home-sewing/) - In the summer of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic surged, Julieta Gomez-Frittelli, a PhD candidate in chemical engineering at Stanford University, felt like time was slipping away from her until she turned to an age-old craft. “I was whiling away hours in a listless inability to focus, so I decided to...." - [Of Silenced Women](https://ienheduanna.com/article/of-silenced-women/) - This foreboding light shines bitter and broken on those dreaming relentlessly beneath the unforgiving sky... ## Categories - [Fiction](https://ienheduanna.com/category/fiction/) - [Zine Cover](https://ienheduanna.com/category/zine-cover/) - [Fall 2021](https://ienheduanna.com/category/fall-2021/) - [Visual Art](https://ienheduanna.com/category/visual-art/) - [Editor's Note](https://ienheduanna.com/category/editors-note/) - [Spring 2021](https://ienheduanna.com/category/spring-2021/) - [Crafting](https://ienheduanna.com/category/crafting/) - [Feature Article](https://ienheduanna.com/category/feature-article/) - [Interview](https://ienheduanna.com/category/interview/) - [Recipe](https://ienheduanna.com/category/recipe/) - [Profile](https://ienheduanna.com/category/profile/) - [Small Business](https://ienheduanna.com/category/small-business/) - [Musician](https://ienheduanna.com/category/musician/) - [Poetry](https://ienheduanna.com/category/poetry/) - [Photography](https://ienheduanna.com/category/photography/) ## Product categories - [Magazines](https://ienheduanna.com/product-category/magazines/) - [Digital](https://ienheduanna.com/product-category/digital/) - [Accessible Edition](https://ienheduanna.com/product-category/accessible-edition/)
