The days and nights are warm this last week of October but clouds giving rain obscure the sunshine day after day. The earth accepts the moisture. When filled, the water overflows following the path of least resistance.
The cats dashed outside this morning for the day’s adventures. The cats dashed back in after a few minutes leaving paw prints on the floor. Stellina showed her consternation in the posture of her tail. Her agitated stride bounded up the stairs and back to bed. She knows it’s hopeless. She becomes cross when the ground is wet soaking her paws.
Consider the firestorms residents of California are coping with these days. If only we had the power to will the rain to their skies to quench the terrible flames. Have a care for the loss of insect, animal, avian and plant life. A house burnt out is awful to endure. The residents are homeless. The loss of life cannot compare. Consider the bird nests, the loss of eggs or fledglings to the smoke and flames. Fire follows the path of least resistance. The winds push on the destruction.
There is enough here. There is suffering there. Without one, we cannot know the other. Life is often unfair.
