The Book Of Endless Days –
In the moments between moments,
we find a testament to those
which have defined our path.
By author and poet E. Ash Ley, The Book of Endless Days explores the moments of our personal history seen as fragments of the infinite timeline of life itself, that which refuses to fade despite the knowledge of our human mortality. Each piece reflects upon the moments that shape and define us as individuals across the journey of our lives; those stretched across time, and those fleeting that disappear before we can fully name them. Through its vivid imagery, intimate personal reflections, and with a voice both tender and strong, this collection shares a narrative of the enduring beauty found in the spaces between who we were, who we are and who we are yet to become.
