Are you also watching California fighting fire?
My state is in emergency. The fires flames are still not contained. I pause to offer thanks to those who are fighting to contain the fires and pray that no more lives and homes are lost. I watch the news With much alarm Pray that no one Comes to harm As wildfires feast With cruel delight Upon a state In helpless flight While flicking flames Of fiery tongues Blows burning wind From furnace lungs These Santa Anas Blow so warm That Nature melts Beneath its charm Again, let no one come to harm

The only time I ever got burned in the Ca. sun was when the santa annas were blowing. My doctor said I had windburn, not sunburn. The fires can be bad, we'll pray they are contained soon.

A beautiful prayer for heroes. I once lived in the state of licking flame you descibe. I pray for the safety of you and Amy and the rest of my beloved who dwell there. Peace and rains to you. Blessed Be. From four corners, prayers arise energy sent to the skies, a one voice chorus of different hearts dispelling flames, skies rip apart letting fall a gentle shower.

Yes, I watched the news likewise. I didn't like the fire-scene either. "Again, let no one come to harm." Amen!
