Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our older son, his wife and son may have to evacuate from fire kicked up yesterday. Their air is bad, and for them, it's deja vu, as fire came within a mile of them a couple of years ago, and now it's about three miles away. The stress is horrible, and though they will come and stay at our younger daughter's rental studio, if they have to, the terror of leaving all your valuables, packing up the cat, and worrying that all your effort in painting, gardening etc can be gone in a moment. My husband and I went to the cabin overnight this weekend, and avoided the scorching temperatures here, but today it was well over ninety, and with gusty winds at times, the thing we fear. I can't get a break from worrying, and I'm not alone. There is a pile up effect of covid, the news, the fires, and the struggles of my friends and family. Nothing to do but pray, which I am.
