We lost power last night. Here in the Pacific Northwest, that’s always a risk in wintertime, when our tall Douglas firs, buffeted by the wind, lose their grip in the sodden earth and tumble onto power lines.
It’s certainly a drag in some ways: the loss of central heat, running water, lights, and all we take for granted. Disheartening.
Still, it’s a good opportunity to snuggle up, reconnect with loved ones, and think about what’s important: for me, for my family, for my country, and remember, “This, too, shall pass.”
