Mother Nature seems angry at us. I live in California, here we want rain, we may wish, pray, chant, or even do dances in hopes that we will get soaking drops of water. We need the rain, to wet the land, water our crops, to drink, and yet months go by and nothing. We see rain on the weather forecast, and we get excited, we hope, but really we cannot hope too much, because often as the day gets closer the chance becomes less, and less. And then you hear about the flooding in other parts of the country, or hurricanes coming to destroy. Honestly, CA could use a good storm, and I am going to keep wishing, hoping, praying, chanting, and dancing for that to happen. But right now, even though I am concerned for the state of my state, I am even more concerned for the people of Jamaica, and the rest of the Caribbean.
Jamaica currently has a hurricane rapidly moving towards them, called Matthew. While I am most definitely concerned for all countries effected, I am more concerned for Jamaica since my heart resides there. You never know where you are going to find love, and somehow I managed to find it 3000 miles away, in a man that has changed me for the better (more on that at another time). Right now, I just needed to write, because I am scared. I have never experienced a hurricane, nor were him and I together the last time one hit. But now, Matthew is coming, he is there, I am here, and it sucks. I know enough to know that they will probably lose power, so I may not even get to speak with him as the storm grows closer. It is a stressful time, I know I will need to keep busy, and I am guessing I might get a little more writing done this weekend then I have.
I am level headed enough to know that everything will be okay, but I can’t help but be concerned. He is a smart guy, and lives inland enough that I am sure all will be good, but until it passes, I am going to be on edge. He keeps reminding me that they have been through it before, and they will go through it again, but come on, a category 5, mother nature seems angry with us.
Yes, mother nature is angry, CA in a forever drought, hurricanes over the Caribbean, flooding in Iowa and Louisiana, we are doing something wrong. I am not going to go on a rant about Global Warming, or how we are ruining our earth (which yes obviously is the reason for these issues), I will let the professionals battle that. But I will encourage anyone reading this to remind yourself that everything you do to destroy the Earth now, is just making it that much harder for your children. We have got to do something now, to make a difference for future generations.
