Every dragon is born missing a scale. Each has its own unique vulnerability. Finding that bare patch before the arrow finds it is a great challenge we all face. I’m really glad you found your vulnerability before the arrow found its mark. I’m sorry your Pop wasn’t so lucky. He must be so proud of you when he hears your song.

All the chords that were never played and the lyric poems that were never written and the murals that went unpainted... because the agony of the soul was swallowed or sniffed or injected before it could be transmuted into the beauty that stays beyond the suffering-- where does it all go? I don't think it can be in vain. I know too many who have died too soon but it doesn't mean their lives were empty. Your father left beauty and love beyond the grave and you carry it forward, having the stamina to give it forth to the world, and your own sons.
