Chapter One: Bhumisparsha (touching the earth)

He watched me from a distance. I felt his eyes on me, but I hadn’t gotten close enough to see his face. It wasn’t until I got close enough to see his expression that I froze. His painfully uncertain glance pierced my heart. I wanted to cut and run right then and there, but he was terrified. Helpless. Injured. Mine. Connor was mine. I stopped to speak with the man in charge, explaining that his mother asked me to get him. She threatened me, but that’s beside the point. I kept my eyes on him as he sat completely still. He hadn’t moved an inch since I’d gotten there. The man in charge walked me to Connor, and I kneeled before him. “Hey, are you Connor?” I asked. It was a stupid question. He couldn’t be anybody else. Connor looked like her… Except for the blonde eyebrows and eyelashes. That was all me. He nodded, looking into my eyes. They weren’t like his. He had his mother’s eyes. I think he wanted a sense of familiarity… Something that made him feel like we were similar. “Do you talk, or is staring the cool thing with kids your age?” I hadn’t realized how stupid I sounded until tears started streaming down his cheeks. “Hey… Hey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m Ollie. Do you know who I am to you?”

Connor looked up and allowed me to see the big bandage taped to his forehead. He was covered up, wearing a sweatsuit and jacket, so I couldn’t tell if he had any other injuries. I looked away because I couldn’t handle his eyes and his tears. “You’re my dad,” Connor answered. I huffed and nodded.

“This your bag?” I questioned. Connor nodded, and I took it from him. He didn’t flinch or try to stop me. Connor gave it up as if I meant to take the bag and leave him behind. “Come on. I’m taking you too.”

Connor stood up and wavered. I grabbed him —not because I wanted to. It was instinct. I picked him up and held him because it felt right. He seemed weak. “I gotcha kiddo… I gotcha,” I whispered.

I carried him and his bag down the steps toward the parking lot, and by the time we got to the car, he’d fallen asleep. My mind shut off, and I put Connor in the car, buckled his seatbelt, and set his bag between his feet in the front seat. I was glad he fell asleep because I didn’t know what to say. Twelve years since I’d seen him last. Twelve years to become a stranger to him. I thought about what it would’ve been like if I stuck around for him. I wondered if I had space for him during the wild parts of my life. I drove to the nearest shopping center and parked in the lot. I shook my hand against his chest, and he sat up with a jolt and gasped. “Hungry?” I asked. Connor nodded. “You’re allowed to say more than three words at a time. You know? How about you tell me what you thought when your mom told you I was on my way to get you?”

“I didn’t believe her… I didn’t think you’d come,” Connor replied.

I frowned and nodded. “What are you vegan or vegetarian?” I asked.

“I’m vegetarian, but I’m trying—.”

“Vegan-ish… We’ll go with that for right now. I’m gonna go in there and get you a smoothie. Then, I’m gonna take you to the store. Then, we’ll get you some clothes and snacks to eat in the car. Okay?” I explained. Connor nodded. “Do you wanna sit in the car, or do you wanna come with me?”

“I’ll come with you,” Connor answered. I jumped out of the car, rushed toward the little juice bar, and felt his pinky loop around mine.

“Aren’t you a little—?” I stopped when I saw the painfully innocent look on his face. I stood in line and watched Connor as he observed everything but the menu. I took one of the tri-fold menus and gave it to him. “Here. Pick out what you want.”

Connor looked at me, and I nodded. “This one?” Connor asked, pointing to a peach smoothie on the menu.

“Hey, when’s the last time you ate?” I asked. I hadn’t asked him, but he looked tired.

“I ate before the accident,” Connor replied. I frowned at him.

Connor shrank as we approached the counter. “Can I get two medium peach smoothies and an oatmeal for the kid—?”

“Oh, Dad, you don’t—.”

“You didn’t eat… And don’t—. You haven’t eaten in at least twenty-four hours. You’re gonna have some oatmeal,” I commanded, “There’s soy milk in the oatmeal.”

“I don’t wanna be any trouble,” Connor half-pleaded.

“You’ll be trouble if you pass out on me in the store. If it makes you feel better, I’ll get some oatmeal too. Okay?” I asked. I was harsh and didn’t have to be. I was more frustrated with the situation than I was with him. Connor nodded. “Good. Two medium-sized oatmeals and two peach smoothies, please,” I ordered. I gave a name and paid for our food before sitting Connor at a table.

Connor looked me in the eye and then down at the table. “I’m sorry,” Connor apologized.

“What are you sorry for now?” I questioned.

“I’m not sure, but you seem angry,” Connor replied.

“I’m not angry,” I snapped before taking a breath. “I’m not mad at you. This situation is weird. Doesn’t this seem strange to you?”

“You’re my dad… There’s nothing strange about that,” Connor replied. I sighed. “You don’t want me… That’s what you mean, isn’t it?” The completely un-sarcastic sincerity of his words made my skin crawl.

“It doesn’t matter what I do or don’t want, Connor… You’re here now, and I’ve got you. Don’t I?” I replied. Connor didn’t answer.

The woman called me, and I brought our breakfast to the table. He ate slowly and in silence. He shut his eyes when he chewed. I didn’t speak to him out of respect. Besides, I didn’t want to give him a reason to get attached to me. He savored every bite. It took him an hour to finish eating. I cleared the table and threw out our trash before taking him across the lot to the superstore. “Mom said you stayed at the same monastery... That was a while ago, though. Wasn’t it?” Connor questioned. I nodded.

I held a shirt up to his chest. “How do you feel about this one?” I asked. He shook his head and reached for a plain sweatshirt. “What if it gets hot later on?”

Connor grabbed a pack of plain grey t-shirts. Simple. I nodded and looked through the jeans until I found a pair that looked his size. Roy was a lot easier. I gave him some money and let him go to town. Connor didn’t have a strong opinion on anything and wanted my help through all of it. I think that was his way of trying to bond with me. I expected Connor to be angry with me and aloof, but he was so sweet and agreeable. It made my stomach hurt to look at him. I knew what sort of man I was, but it disturbed me to face the kid I ran away from. He deserved better, but I knew he didn’t want better. For whatever reason, Connor wanted me. Sandra said he asked for me.

Roy was away for the summer, staying with a couple of friends, so I didn’t feel the need to tell him about Connor. Not yet. He didn’t need to know yet. I didn’t want Roy to know. I thought I’d return Connor to the monastery or home to his mom by then. “Are you taking anything for the pain? Should I pick up your prescription?”

“It’s already in my bag,” Connor answered.

“Okay, good… Anything else hurt? Or was it your head?” I asked.

“Only my head,” Connor lied. I could tell from how he leaned into me while he walked that something else hurt. Maybe his leg. His side. I wasn’t sure, but I knew he was injured worse than he let on. I figured he’d let me know if it was out of his control.

“Are you older than my mom?” Connor asked.

“What kinda question is that? Your mom and I are the same age,” I replied.

“It’s just—. Well… You have a beard. That might be it,” Connor whispered. I frowned.

“I’ll have you know, women like the beard,” I replied, stroking my goatee proudly. Connor laughed without meaning to.

“I’m sorry… I’m sure you’re right. I wouldn’t know,” Connor comforted me.

I huffed. “I don’t need coddling, kid,” I snapped, “Come on.” I led him to the checkout line and rushed back to the car. We got on the highway, and the kid pulled out a book. “What are you reading?”

“It’s a book of poems,” Connor replied. He looked at me to try and gauge my level of interest.

I figured it’d be a shorter ride if we spoke to each other, so I humored him. To be fair, though, I didn’t care much for poems. “It looks old… Is it one of your favorites or something? Or is it secondhand?” I asked.

“Both,” Connor smiled. He had a contagious smile. I couldn’t deny that his mom and I made a pretty cute kid. “It’s one of my favorite books. Maybe I could read you one of my favorites if you don’t mind.”

“Sure, let’s hear it,” I replied.

The poem was fairly long, but he started to trail off and stammer. “Hey, does it—?” He sniffed, and I cursed under my breath. Crying again. “What’s the matter?”

“I can’t help it,” Connor mumbled, “I miss them. I’m so sorry. I miss them so much.”

I didn’t know much about the accident, so I had no idea people died. It caught me off guard. “Connor, I’m sorry. I didn’t know people—. My condolences, kiddo,” I whispered, “Finish the poem… It was a good one.”

Chapter Four: Lojong (cleansing of attitudes)

“Dinah, I haven’t even—. I haven’t told Roy about Connor. I haven’t told Connor about Roy-. This—.”

“How long have you known about your son?” Dinah interrupted.

“The whole time… I knew the entire time,” I confessed. Dinah leaned forward, hiding her face in her palms as she sighed and cursed. “And how do I explain it to Connor? It’s not like I planned on Roy. It’s not like I planned either of them.” 

Dinah scoffed. “Yeah. Poor you. Poor, Ollie. Roy and Connor just happened to you. You didn’t ask to be a parent. So, why should anyone expect you to act like one?” Dinah asked. I scratched the back of my neck. “You’re not a kid anymore, Ollie. You’re a grown man with a family. You’ve got two sons, and you need to start acting like it. Stop being so damn selfish.” 

She stood up to leave, and I grabbed her wrist. “Don’t leave angry—.” 

“Ollie, I gotta go. Let go of my arm,” Dinah warned me. I let go and watched her leave. I tried not to dwell on it, but it ate at me. I returned to Connor’s room and sat beside him on his mattress. He woke up shivering and lay on my lap.  

“Connor, I um—. I have another kid. He’s around your age and out with his friends for the summer,” I took a breath, “His name is Roy Harper. He um—. I adopted him about a year ago.”  

Connor rolled off my lap and turned, facing the wall. “You never wanted me—.”

“Connor, that’s—. I didn’t even ask—. Roy didn’t have anyone else, and I made his father—. His other adoptive father a promise that I’d look after him—.” 

“You didn’t tell me before because you knew I’d feel rejected. I’m upset, but I have to forgive you. I’ll feel better if I forgive you, but I don’t know how you’ll feel,” Connor replied, “Something is holding you back. I don’t know what it is, but you’re hurting the people around you. So, that has to come from a place of pain or fear. You aren’t bad, but you make yourself seem that way.” 

I couldn’t be angry with him because of his gentle sincerity. “I’m so sorry, Connor. Do you want me to be honest with you?” I questioned. I wanted him to look at me. My pride wouldn’t allow me to let Connor give up on me. I didn’t want to be a lost cause. 

Connor made a soft noise. “Okay,” Connor replied.

“I didn’t know what I’d do with a kid… And you weren’t just a kid. You were a baby, Connor. To be fair, I’m not convinced that I know what I’m doing with Roy. I thought you’d be better off with one good parent than a—. Well… With me,” I confessed, “I wanted you to have a fair shake at being normal… And I didn’t want to be responsible for—. I didn’t want to be responsible.”

“Why did you come this time? If you didn’t want—.” 

“I was curious. I wanted to know how it would feel to see you,” I interrupted. 

It was so tense in the room. I couldn’t bear to be there, but I stayed. Connor stared at me with his sweet green eyes. “Do you regret seeing me?” Connor asked.

I swallowed hard. “Yes, because—. Because I enjoy your company. We’re nothing alike, but I like you so much. And I don’t know what to do with that. I never imagined we’d get along so well, and I’m so sorry, Connor. I’m sorry that I didn’t explain this to you earlier. I’m sorry that I wasn’t—. I’m sorry for everything. I don’t know if you should forgive me. Hell, I wouldn’t—. I wouldn’t forgive me,” I stammered. 

“You’re right,” Connor whispered, “We aren’t alike.” And then he grabbed the bottom of my shirt and shut his eyes. “Dad, I’m cold.”  

I sniffed as tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn’t stop them once they were there. They kept coming, streaming down my face as I pulled the quilt over Connor’s shoulders. “I can get you another blanket,” I offered. 

“No, thank you. I’d like it better if you stayed… And Dad? Thank you for not saying it,” Connor whispered. I scrunched down until I lay beside him, silently waiting for him to explain. 

When he didn’t, I cleared my throat to conceal my tears. “Not saying what?” I asked. 

“You didn’t want mom to have me,” Connor replied. I inhaled through my nose. 

It’s funny. I had all sorts of horrible apprehensive thoughts when it came to being a parent, but not once had I wished he didn’t exist. I didn’t regret that. I regretted the circumstances, and I hated the person I was and feared parenthood in every aspect, but I never thought for a second that he shouldn’t be born. In fact… I thought there should be more people like him. Gentle people in a harsh world.

I wanted to seem standoffish, but he hit my heart. It was like he knew where to aim in his search for the truth. Bullseye. “That’s the furthest thing from the truth,” I mumbled. Connor sat up and looked at me.  

“You’re crying… Did I say something—?”  

“It’s alright. I’m alright. I just—. I’m glad you’re here, Connor. It’s been weird so far and painfully awkward, but I needed this. I needed you here with me this summer,” I mumbled. 

“Thank you for coming to get me. You didn’t have to. Mom would’ve come if you insisted on staying away from me. I think your curiosity and kindness are the same,” Connor whispered. I smiled. 

“I can be better than this, you know… I wanna do better, and I want you to tell me when I suck at this,” I replied, “Do we have a deal?”  

“Can I meet Roy?” Connor asked.  

“Um… Sure, but you’ll have to give me time to explain it to Roy,” I replied, “His trip with his friends is almost over with. Give me a day or two.” 

“Okay. Are you going to stay after I fall asleep?” Connor questioned. 

“Uh-huh. I’m not going anywhere,” I whispered. I shut my eyes and wiped my face as I tried to get some shut-eye. I stirred once the phone rang. 

“Hello?” I answered.

“How’s Connor?” Sandra asked. 

“Um… Connor is—. He has a fever, but other than that, he’s okay. He’s sleeping,” I replied. I heard Sandra sigh over the phone. I wasn’t sure if she was angry or relieved. 

“Do you want me to come and get him?” Sandra asked.

“No. I need to see this through for the summer, at least. I wanna spend some time with him. Does he know how to ride a bike?” I asked. 

“Yeah… Oliver, I—. I’ll have some time off in July. Do you mind if I come and see him?” Sandra asked. 

“He’s your son too… And I think—. Connor’d be happy to see you,” I replied, “I’ll give him a kiss for you.” 

“Thanks, Ollie,” Sandra smiled. 

“No problem,” I whispered. She said goodbye and hung up. Connor mumbled something. “What was that?” 

“Who was that?” Connor replied. 

“Your mom wanted to know how you were doing. Do you feel better?” I asked as I felt his forehead. Connor grabbed my wrist. 

“Are you going to send me away?” Connor asked.

“Nope. You’re stuck with me for the summer,” I answered. Connor smiled and shut his eyes. He slept until lunchtime.

Adipic Acid Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 Adipic Acid is a critical component within the global chemical industry, primarily used as a precursor for nylon production, polyurethane foams, and a range of other applications such as plasticizers and food additives. The market dynamics of adipic acid prices are influenced by numerous factors, including raw material costs, demand fluctuations, production capacity changes, and broader economic conditions. Adipic acid production heavily relies on the availability and cost of key feedstocks such as cyclohexane and benzene. Given that these feedstocks are derived from crude oil, adipic acid prices are often susceptible to volatility in global crude oil markets. When oil prices rise, input costs for adipic acid increase, often leading to higher market prices. Conversely, periods of lower oil prices tend to provide cost relief, resulting in more competitive pricing in the downstream markets.

The demand for adipic acid has seen significant variations driven by its key end-use sectors, particularly the automotive and construction industries. Nylon 6,6, one of the primary products derived from adipic acid, finds extensive applications in automotive components, textiles, and industrial machinery. The automotive industry's health directly impacts adipic acid demand, with increased automobile production and sales correlating to higher consumption. When automotive demand wanes, as during economic slowdowns or supply chain crises, it can lead to excess adipic acid inventories, pressuring prices downward. Moreover, emerging markets with expanding manufacturing sectors and rising middle-class populations have driven demand growth, though economic uncertainty in these regions can temper market optimism.

Environmental considerations have also played a substantial role in shaping adipic acid prices. Traditional adipic acid production involves the emission of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. As regulations around emissions tighten globally, manufacturers face increased compliance costs. This has led to efforts to adopt cleaner and more sustainable production methods. While these greener processes may alleviate long-term regulatory pressures, they also require significant capital investment, potentially exerting upward pressure on prices. Market players are navigating this evolving landscape to balance environmental sustainability with profitability. In regions where stricter environmental regulations are imposed, adipic acid production costs are often higher, which may translate to price increases passed on to consumers.

Supply dynamics are another key determinant of adipic acid pricing trends. Any disruptions in production due to natural disasters, maintenance shutdowns, or geopolitical events can lead to temporary shortages, causing price spikes. For example, unplanned outages at key production facilities in major markets like the United States, China, or Europe have historically led to notable price volatility. Producers often attempt to mitigate such risks through diversification of supply chains and strategic partnerships. On the other hand, when new production capacities come online, particularly in Asia, they can lead to oversupply scenarios. Increased competition among manufacturers can then trigger price declines, providing opportunities for buyers to secure more favorable deals but posing challenges to producers' profitability.

The global adipic acid market has also been shaped by trade dynamics, with fluctuations in tariffs and trade policies affecting cross-border movements and prices. For instance, trade tensions between major economies can introduce barriers to the import and export of adipic acid and its derivatives. Tariff increases can drive up costs for manufacturers dependent on imports, leading to higher domestic prices. Additionally, currency exchange rate variations can affect the competitiveness of adipic acid in different markets, influencing international trade flows and local pricing structures.

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic further underscored the vulnerability of adipic acid prices to macroeconomic shocks. Demand disruptions, supply chain constraints, and shifts in consumer behavior during and after the pandemic caused significant market volatility. Early in the pandemic, widespread lockdowns and economic downturns led to a sharp decline in demand for nylon and other adipic acid derivatives, exerting downward pressure on prices. As recovery took hold, particularly driven by infrastructure spending and automotive sector growth, prices began to rebound. However, the pace of recovery varied by region, reflecting differing levels of government intervention and economic resilience. The post-pandemic market remains sensitive to supply chain bottlenecks, energy price fluctuations, and inflationary pressures.

Innovation within the industry is another notable influence on adipic acid pricing. The push towards bio-based adipic acid, derived from renewable feedstocks, has gained momentum amid rising environmental concerns and consumer preferences for sustainable products. While bio-based adipic acid is generally more expensive to produce due to higher feedstock costs and production complexity, its price could become more competitive as technology advances and economies of scale are achieved. The transition towards bio-based alternatives introduces both opportunities and risks for traditional adipic acid market players, influencing market prices through shifts in consumer demand and regulatory preferences.

Geographically, Asia-Pacific remains a pivotal region for adipic acid production and consumption. China, in particular, has been a dominant force, both as a major producer and consumer. As the country continues to urbanize and expand its manufacturing sector, the demand for adipic acid is projected to remain strong. However, China's evolving regulatory environment, particularly concerning emissions and energy usage, could impact production costs and pricing trends. Meanwhile, North America and Europe are expected to maintain stable demand, albeit with a stronger focus on sustainable and innovative solutions. Overall, the interplay of regional supply-demand balances, regulatory shifts, and macroeconomic trends will continue to drive adipic acid prices, presenting both challenges and opportunities for industry stakeholders across the value chain.
