Chasing answers was my life. The elusive spirits escaped me home after home. The questions were the same, always.Â
Who are you? Do I have your eyes? What do you do? Why did you leave me?Â
It took years before I finally found you. But my hope died as soon as I saw you. I watched you playing with your son, one big happy family, and I only got a new question instead.Â
Why did he get to grow up with you?Â
My 80 mg of answer:
The street was narrow, gravelly and surrounded by a willow grove. Peter had been walking for several days, with a backpack and a stick. hHe continued, slowly, at an almost dragging pace. Peter was searching for a relieving answer . And he had been going on for a month, alone, tired. His head weighed as much as his backpack.
He hoped to find on El Camino the peace he hasn't had since the day his son died in a car accident.
Powerful, love this!!
