Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We were awoken before dawn by an earthquake.  I checked downstairs and nothing was broken.  Our daughter texted and I replied.  I lay down again, my mind racing.  Nothing to do, really.  I fell asleep and got up over five hours later.  The epicenter was extremely close, and since a couple of weeks ago, when we went to a party and earthquakes came up in the conversation, disturbing.  Though what we fear is the fire that might result from a big quake.  We have our supplies in our garage on the street, and I was wondering if that was a good place, and realizing again the need to refill our water container.  I'm not super prepared.  I admit it.  And currently I have absolutely no cash, as is the norm.  I end up spending it.  Yesterday I was so happy it was raining, today I worry about another quirk of nature.  All the expenditure of energy is wasted:  what will happen will happen, and not a doggone thing to do about it.  I'm going to the movies today and even that creeps me out.  Will a quake trap me in the building?  Stay tuned.
