fire

"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. " ~Wendell Berry, "The Peace of Wild Things"


There was a fire in my apartment complex at 3am this morning.... a man (only 28 years old!) died in the fire. Apartment fires have always been a fear of mine... they can spread SO quickly. So - needless to say, I'm a little on edge tonight. I keep thinking that I smell smoke, and I keep making sure that my oven and stove are turned off. Yikes...
