dear reader,
imagine a ghost
selecting a book off a shelf
rotating
and dropping the book to the floor
where the book will sit
in a way
it could not have arrived at
independently
imagine a human
picking up the book
running a hand down it's spine
clenching eyelids tightly
while returning
the ghost's selection
to the shelf
we can not control external factors
or other people's conduct
but please remember
dear reader
it is always our decision
how we return a ghost's disturbance
to the shelf
if we see our houses as haunted,
accept our hauntings with honey,
does it make it easier to deal with ghosts?
does it sharpen our awareness to the nectar of living?
with a hand in yours
forever
