one wild and precious life

my greatest happiness would be
to hold the mysteries of the world
to love the questions themselves
to care without boundaries
to grab the hand of a stranger or friend
and listen to the laughter as we ran
through fields of wildflowers.

The Weather Channel is taking this so much more seriously than me.

I guess it’s because I live where the blunt of the damage happened and our power is fine, the roads are mostly drained, and businesses are still open. It looks terrifying on TV, but living it is kind of boring.

You should’ve tried driving in it this morning when it was actually a storm and it was flooding everywhere.

 Yeah, I think downtown/the south end/the west end were entirely different stories from the east end experience. Try rescuing a family from their car as the stall in front of your house and lending them all your towels/phones/internet access so they can get home, relocating your entire basement to the first floor as water pours through the busted windows, and watching the water level raise steadily and stop just a few inches from seeping into your first floor…

I just feel sooo bad for the people living in the west end who got hit WAY harder than we did. We’re going to have such a mess to clean up, but their stuff is probably entirely ruined.
