I really did sit on a park bench last Friday and think about the point of it all. It was very
cold. I watched the wind in the branches of this giant tree in the middle of the park and
I thought about what it meant. This is how that feeling sounded. I struggle a lot with
questioning why I am who I am on this earth, and I wrote this piece on a day when that
question became really large. I watched the wind ripple through the tree beside me, and
not once did I hear the tree ask why.
