Chapter 28: Chapter 28: We have come to a place where we may continue

Burch and I sit in the boat.

What matters is this moment, here, now, in and of itself.

 

I spread my petals and leaves out wide, basking in the sunshine, which leaks through the swampland trees, pressing down onto us as we journey.
