Above the Clouds

“The place I know as happiness: the mystery of what peers were making. I regard myself as a raccoon at best, but the woman, and many, shelter me with arms and belief. My world is changed by man, shapes, and forms—informed.

My grandmother that named me—gone. In place of her, the call came to be a person and let myself grieve with support that let me know that place is just a holder of being.

I am still a shadow dog for the endless love that this place is.” — Qwalsius-Shaun Peterson
