Lull

I can feel your angst. It must be frightening

Thank you, Tim, for your thoughts & concern.  x

It’s rather like the earthquakes here; you never know where or when. But the difference here is: earthquakes create fires (usually from ruptured gas lines), but fires don’t create earthquakes.  

Little comfort in such an analogy, however.

How far is it from you?  Keep us updated.

Close! Reached West San Fernando Valley, West Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills... and that’s in L.A. city/ L.A. County. You see, the city covers much more territory than many think. I’m in the west San Fernando Valley which is in the county, but I’m also an Angelino.

This is what I pm’d Gahddess Worship:
“As for my safety; I think I’m okay now, but I have family still waiting for mandatory evacuation orders in several areas to be lifted before they can go back to a home or a rubble- covered foundation and an empty hull of a car (or what have you).”

Thanks for your concern, Kimmy. x

Keep us posted.

Wow, Jadey! That's hauntingly beautiful!
Please be careful, you wonderful, young lady!

Matthew.

Thank you, Matthew, for your appreciation, concern & kind words.

I love the way this reads with its kind of staggering rhythm befitting the topic and angst and uncertainty of 'will be be o.k, or not'

{PS: I know that picture only too well; it's scary. I hope it rains soon for you, Jade - we've just had a week of downpours to end the 'fire-season'}.

Thank you so much, Josh, for your embrace & understanding of what I’ve been passing down to the reader how impactful this is.  
 
It started with  
“In the Time of Fires”. Then -  
just hours before the start of the recent holocaust, I published “Fire Harvest”. And now, there’s “TRAPPED!”, and “Lull”.  
 
As for rain, it’s been forecast we might have precipitation by our Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, the 22nd.  
 
What a blessing that would be.  x

I wish you safety, Jadey.  You catch the danger well here, like a flaming Damocles sword.  Beautifully written.

Thank you so very much, dear friend, for your embrace of my fire ink. But most of all, for your wishes of safety you’ve been sending me these couple of days. We’ll talk soon.

This is classy.
Be proud.
You have real flair.

Why thank you, poet, for your generous words of appreciation.  x

What a powerful write... I particularly like the last stanza:

And local news just reported before,
Another flare-up, no pity.
In the time it took to swallow the moon,
A thousand acres to the torch.

Very very strong!

I’m grateful for how you have come through the horrible conflagrations near where you are. And last night the latest total of those killed in the holocaust destruction of Paradise was upgraded to many hundreds that perished!    
   
I feel what I write during these uncertain times doesn’t amount to much. But there’s you and me, and others here on site who know those who have incurred loss or seen it. It’s always better to know you’re not alone.    
     
You’re always held fast in my thoughts and heart. x <3

stopping by to check in on you, love and want to say
that youre in my thoughtful prayers sent out to the
Universe--

please be safe darling

Thank you, dearest, you’re such a love. And knowing your prayers mingle with the ether, I’m sure I’ll make it through alright.
