FIRE AND WATER
While watching "The Weather Channel" last week, I look at all the places where a fire was burning. I remarked, "wouldn't it be easier to show where a fire wasn't burning?" Then I look at the pouring rains and floodings that are occurring as well, and I wonder why the storm water couldn't occur immediately where the fires had started; but weather isn't always logical.
All weather is very unpredictable, and very often devastating damage takes place. Tornados, raging fires, flash flooding may be forecast so many times in one area, that people become complacent about the fact that the warnings have happened, and the event never actually occurred. Sort of like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
Climate is changing, and weather predictions are becoming more and more accurate. Learning to heed the predictions and take action could be the very things that save lives.
What about your weathervane, do you have one? I think that mine it is that still small voice that resides in each of us. Our intuition often becomes alert to what choices we make. Storms occur in our own lives, we weather what we can, and ask for help when we need it. Spousal abuse, parent abuse, are all things we should do something about. Even choosing who you go places with, or speaking up when you think a bad choice is being made. Listen to your own intuition, and make a safe choice.
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.
Do you have plans in place for what you would do in a disaster?
Do the members of your family know what to do if they are not at home in the event of a disaster?
Planning ahead is a great idea, maybe even discuss with your neighbors how you can support each other in the event of an emergency.
Be safe.
Love and Light,
