Where Grief Goes

to see the wonder in a flower
and know it came from you.

This wasn’t just a slogan for Governor Bishop DeCulpat. It was a life’s crusade. In his border state, it was his family, his neighbors who’d borne the brunt of the social costs of the flow of migrants across the border. They’d been pushed to a boiling point. Now, it was time for action.

Hearing the signature catchphrase of the campaign, the audience erupted once again, the ovation magnified by the white marble column of the Statehouse rising at the Governor’s back, drowning out The Vince Guaraldi Trio’s Christmas is Coming blaring from the speakers...
