This week is a curious one in the annuls of disaster history in Washington, D. C. On Tuesday we were hit by one of the most frightening and unpredictable disaster events in a significant earthquake. Four days later we wait with baited breath for one of the most frightening and predictable disaster events in a major hurricane. And in the end it doesn't matter whether we can prepare for calamities or not, they happen. The bottom line is neither shaken nor blown away. We remain on a continuum that goes from materialism to resiliency. We either depend upon the things that fade or build our foundations upon the ideals that transcend our circumstances.
And with that in mind, my circumstances between now and Monday are very open to the interpretation and imprint by powers that are completely out of my control. Why would anyone ever imagine our lives to be otherwise?
