Tomorrow I lead my family and extended family in the interrment of the remains of my grandparents, Margaret (Peggy) Evelyn and William Philbrick (Phil) Butler, in the family plot in W. Seattle, alongside four generations of the Butler family going back to Seattle colonization.

I wish our culture had more time and space for grief and remembrance. I think our ceremony tomorrow is a small scratch on the surface. Too bad the most weepy family member (me) was chosen to lead the interrment.

It is not lost on me that we are putting our beloved ones into colonized ground. I will be sitting with that violation today as I work on the composition of the ceremony.
