Lora Butcher

In every state of mind:
    the brilliant moment
    and the unraveled plan,
    the quick, light grasp
    and the slow, heavy step

In every state of heart:
    the pulsing thrill
    and the gathered rage,
    the gentle offering of a grand peace
    and the golden pathways of love

We have found our true selves.
We are the X on the map.
