and without knowing,  i realize that the drawing came on the day i knew to be      the day      when everything changed last year.   When we had to evacuate,  when Onday fell.     When something in me broke.

    This time of the year, wildfire season, is a hard time. I cannot know what it is to have to move at a moments notice, with goats, with necessary belongings, etc. I do know something about having to be in a constant state of readiness (husband’s health) but I am not in peril as you all are when wildfire season comes. What you face every year at this time is such an on-going challenge and when the unexpected comes, it takes a toll. Putting self back together takes time. Maybe they came to remind you of that, to say, that you are doing the best you can and it takes guts to acknowledge what came last year and try to work through it as you are doing. Maybe my words are like puffs of smoke, but they are sent with love and acknowledgment of how you continue to live you life with strength and integrity.

    Grounding, such a beautiful way to heal, re-energize, or just keep going.
