Truly, we have come a long way.
We are today, and have been, the same.
We wake. We move, creak, sigh. We lie.
Rusty fingers and toes know the path; know the roots, and barbs, and lively things.
We are here, where we have been.
Back at the beginning and knowing, for the first time, what it means to see and to say, "Yes,"
We have come a long way round.
