Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
I can’t say I’m the type of person who gets a mental picture of his future. However, there was one time that I did.
Becoming a parent is one of the bigger changes in life. I had a vision in my mind of teaching my daughter to ride a bicycle and letting go and she would just ride on down the street.
This little snippet in one’s life, played out exactly how I envisioned.
I’m OK with that, but now it’s a memory, a pleasant one at that
Earth don’t know why I love her like I do
All the changes we put you through
because of money, my pirouettes
we haven’t seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know, can you tell me
Climate change is here to stay?
Atmospheric river, drop me in the water
Flow into the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
I don’t know why this years so bad
Think of all the things that tend to make me sad
Floods are a notion that I can’t forget
Wildfire season I would never regret
Atmospheric River

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
Until we are
Woke up early this morning to have no power. It was kind of nice just to take in the peace and quiet.
Coffee
I’d like to think my life is not shaped and formed by a beverage known as coffee. However, with the power out this morning, I really wanted a cup of coffee. I don’t think it was the caffeine jolt, rather the warmth of a cup of coffee.
Heat
 It was refreshing to recognize that without electricity it’s cold. There is firewood downstairs, but we are not in the emergency situation. But it is a gentle reminder that simple things such as a cup of coffee and heat are not something to be taken for granted.
Getting Back To Power
I am fortunate to be pretty much where I expected to be. With the current regime in power in the United States there are marginalized populations that are at risk of not enjoying things such as heat and a simple cup of coffee. It’s time to stand up for them. It always has.
