I am not lost. I know where I am,
at the intersection of now and then
where my body has been deposited
between a mailbox and a fire hydrant
in front of a diner’s gaudy facade.
We always wake up where we are.

Intersections 2012, open-studio exhibition, is the newest offering from ECVA (Episcopal Church & Visual Arts). Stop by for a visit.

Words above: by Ken Arnold, from his poem "Intersected."

And God said to the soul:
I desired you before the world began.
I desire you now
As you desire me.
And where the desires of two come together
There love is perfected
