This is All We Need

Last night I walked in the rain. I was angry and I needed to run my stallion-self and Lily-dog. My energy was out of bounds and turned to rage,as it does if I don't expend it.

Most houses I passed were illuminated by flickering televisions, shades open, front lights off.

I have walked here for 22 years. These are my neighbors. I feel safe in the dark. These folks are the trees in my forest. I know that if I needed help I could knock on any door and they would know who I am.

This is all we need in this world.
