Was it important to be the master. To be in control. Was that important.
Looking out across the vista of the valley do you really care anymore.
Do you care that you can't be the master. The one in charge.
Does it matter.
As long as you receive the benefits. The view is yours to see. You can use it for your purposes without being the master of all you survey. You still own it in your heart and mind.
You own what you see. Not the master, perhaps. But you own it and use it.
In your heart.
