There are moments in life that change us irreparably. Sometimes those moments are grand and dramatic, tragic or beautiful in their intensity.

The pencil's tip bursts with expression - squiggles, figures, words - filling the page, as the eraser measures, takes note, follows in the pencil's footsteps, leaving only blankness in its wake. The pencil's next seizure of scribbles is perhaps more intense and desperate, but shorter lived, and the eraser follows again.

instilled in her long ago
"find something beautiful, then
let it go. — Christopher Poindexter
