I’ve had somewhat similar experience, but no coyote. My brother died in a car accident and somehow I wound up outside on a sunny, snowy March day looking at a huge pile of cut oak he had not finished. I started hand splitting that oak and hours later exhausted, sweaty and breathing hard I was finished. Anger gone! Accomplished! His legacy to me is splitting firewood!

I'm sorry about your brother! I can just "see" the wood chips flying!! I am sure that is a hard but also wonderful memory, to be close to him on that sunny day. <3 I love it.
