One of these days, I will hopefully find a way to properly honour you and what you have done for me.
It prowls and paces on the periphery
Of the barrier I erected.
Growls are rumbling from its throat
as it flicks its barbed tail in irritation.
I face the monster in my cedar forest again, but something is different today…

This is my life’s path winding between these trees
This is the home I was born in
This is the home I will die in

I have had enough with being met with angry responses to my attempts to be helpful, kind, and considerate of others.

Maybe adding an alternative is not the answer.
Maybe subtraction is the way.
“The best design is subtractive”, I once heard.
In the design of my life, what could I let go?
What would bring peace in its absence?
