Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I woke up this morning early, I thought, to pee, but then my husband said, "look at the sky". It was orange, and the outside was dark as night but it was 8:30 am. We had to turn the lights on to move around, and the outside lights and walk lights were on. It looked like the end of the world. it still does three hours later. The air is moderate, but outside seems like dusk before total nightfall. There are new fires north of us, and fires around us, and we are no where near the rainy season. There is nowhere to flee. Mother Nature is seriously angry, and we are partially to blame. I can only hope we change presidents and a new one addresses this catastrophe immediately. I've been texting with family and friends, and talked to our daughter nearby. We try to remain calm, but the feeling is that we are trapped. I had a dream early this morning in which I was with my older daughter and she gripped my hand. It was as if she was assuring me she was still with us, but also, maybe a warning?
