Gosh, Terry! I so appreciated your last post about what you are doing differently this year. And now all this. I am grateful to you for keeping us all connected to the reality of situations like the L.A. fires, especially when you absolutely could just be focusing on matters close to home. Take good care, and do let me know if I can help at all!

As usual this thoughtful and thought provoking essay brings personal experience - this time dramatic - to bear on general insights. This is the best account of experience of approaching fire I have read, and I trust it because I trust this truthful author. The conclusion is important too: individual actions, about one's house and neighbors, and our changing world, matter. They will keep us caring about the general good.
