A hat of any color
You can fight the pain. You can befriend it. You can give in to it. Or you can meet it without giving it a hat of any color.

Work with your story: What surprise might it give next? Ask it what is its work? Ask your 300 year grandchild elder what its work is. Wrestle, contend with its effects on your hearers and you.
:- Doug.
What do you wish for your grandchildren’s grandchildren’s grandchildren? This we work on.
:- Doug.
At 17 or so, how did you imagine your life would be? Write the story of that imagined life by stages or ages or themes. 10 minutes. Now write the parallel story of how it worked out. What do the 11th generation grandchildren make of this tale of two lives?

There was a time when you loved me
that time I think is a long now
includes it does this now
just this week you were on a trip
you called me every day
we didn’t know what to say
or I was the one who didn’t
you told me what you did that day
you were light and bright
and happy to talk with me
and I loved you for it
