is actually irrelevant,
as are the stories we have spun
to justify our current situation
What motivated us
is deeper than any of these things,
deeper even than what we thought we wanted,
and even what we knew we needed
What motivates us
has power to overcome
all the particulars
of time and place,
all the ins and outs
of history and reasons
What motivates us
will keep on burning
while all the papers fall away
and in the end,
beyond all of our roles,
in fearless clarity
it will shine.
