Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The journey is long and hard. But we will continue to seek paradise.

Let go.

 

You must let go of these things. This additional burden is a weight that one must not carry for too long. After all, it must be so very heavy.

 

Today, the sun is bright. Today, the wind is slow and gentle. Today, the water of the brook is tepid and clear. Today, only my friend, Burch, is a heavy, slow, unpleasant thing.

 

I spread my leaves and petals out wide and gaze towards the sky. I bask in the daylight glow of the good world.
