"..to have a crisis and act upon it is one thing . To dwell in pereptual crisis is another."Barbara Harrison

I read this meditation , then with a hot coffee in hand against the early morning chill , sat in my garden . I love watching dawn and her colors . This morning black smoke clouds filled the east ..families would now be homeless or people out of work .

I have done all I can about my personal crisis yet it filled my mind , made for unsettled emotions and a troubled spirit . In an instant all that disappeared and I began to pray for those fighting the fire and those lives turned unside down by the raging monster .

Soon I'll begin to do my art in a home I love , truely I am blessed ..
