Detour

Work had fallen behind because of the cancer.

Of the four major tasks waiting for me, I have finally completed the first.

Originally, I thought they would all be finished before spring.

Things unfolded differently.

Some people were inconvenienced.

Even so, they understood.

For that, I am deeply grateful.

Once these remaining tasks are finished, I hope to return to what I had originally set out to create.

Was it a detour?

Or was it the path itself?

Perhaps I will understand that a little further down the road.
