Although the journey itself had taken years to reach this point, the moment of the arrival came suddenly. Nothing was new here, it had all been encountered before, yet somehow everything had changed. It was the arrangement, almost completely perfect, like a radiant jeweled object assembled for our delight and wonder, each and every interwoven piece almost exactly where it should be.
