For my colleagues, Kelsey Smith, Rene Paredes, and Neomi Daniels, with thanks for your patience, your hard work, your creativity, and your support.

The Sun Never Says

Even

After

All this time

The sun never says to the earth,

“You owe

Me.”

Look

What happens

With a love like that,

It lights the

Whole

Sky.

– Rumi
