Today's news in California is not good. Fires in 12 different places are going on there prompting an evacuation of a quarter of a million residents and that is too much people being displaced and maybe losing their homes. As I was hearing the news coverage I can't help but feel sad and sympathize with them. Imagine losing your home, a place of memories you shared with your love ones. That is an unimaginable sorrow. Yes, for sure a house and its contents can be replaced but it will never be the same. Gone with that hot wind, with that hot flame and thick smoke are parts of you.
What is happening now in those fires is a clear display of the uncertainties in life. Here today, but gone tomorrow. Things, life and the likes. And it's a form of terrorism of the spirit. Now this made me think, shall I blame mother nature, global warming or really a true act of terrorism? After all, 12 fires burning simultaneously is kinda fishy. Hmn. Could it happen without human help? That is another question to ponder and who knows if we will ever get the rightful answer to this nagging puzzle. Probably not. So sad, really...
