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.
