part of what makes mhok such a good caretaker for day is that, in a way, mhok has inured himself against grief. this man rails against never and can't. there has to be some way around them, there simply has to be. mhok looks never in the face and says, '...i'll figure this out. just let me work on this.'
and that's why he didn't let day stay in his dark room alone. why he brought him into the light, out of the house. why he sought to understand, blindfolded himself in public. why he brings day things he likes, and brings those same things into his own life and space. jasmine flowers. home cooking. day's favorite book.
he's been fighting so hard, for so long, against every never and can't and won't and impossible in day's life, not out of pity, but out of love. trying to keep day focused on maybe and can and will and possible, instead.
it's why mhok still can't understand or accept rung's death, too. her never is just another obstacle he'll somehow find a way around, someday.
but something that is always true about grief? the only way out is through.
so they sat there, together on that mountain, picturing a better sky, with fading light and failing eyes, another impossible never, just a breath away.
the only way out is through. some endings don't change, even if you want something better. sometimes people turn to stone.
day gave mhok a gift, unknowingly, on that mountain. mhok has found a never he can't solve, forced to face grief and for the first time, really contend with it. we saw him finally take it all in, the real picture and the imagined one, and finally mourn the difference.
the only way out is through.

Neither the Unabomer, nor Derrick Jensen nor the unbelievably hot anarcha-primitivist women who made me swoon at 21 ever, ever held medieval peasant agriculture up as an ideal! They hated farmers and farming!
When the most beautiful deranged woman I’d ever seen showed up at the leftist commune wearing a raccoon tail attached to her deerskin miniskirt, she was part of a group off to squat in Ketchikan National Forest and live without the three great evils they were rejecting, or as she explained to us, “no pets, no alcohol, no farming.”
This was a terrible plan that was absolutely going to give them all mercury poisoning but I’m just pedantically demanding that people get all the details of this particular ideology right. Charlie Brown did not have hoes and the Unabomer did not like farmers.

So far so good today. The table is set, and the food is pretty much cooked. I gave myself permission to go out to lunch (I told my mom I was 'picking up my dry cleaning') and that was a nice break. Gotta go back now and actually get some of my job work done. Then just brace for everyone coming at 5pm.
One of the bright spots in our family dinners is that our family friend Larry brings the wine and he brings legitimately good wine and a lot of it and he is always nice to enjoy a glass with. I'll be looking forward to that.
And as always thank you all for your kind words. It helped a lot to get that off my chest and it was very validating to hear that this is indeed a lot. I will get through it.

Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not this week, this month, this season, or this year. Maybe not for a very long time. Maybe it's going to take a lot of work and effort on your part. But eventually, you will be okay.
