I am home safe in my own cup of universe, myself and those closect to me. Yesterday the earth shook and cracked under the pressure of a billion lifes, and the ocean responded with fury. Today a nuclear plant catches on fire and I am still safe. I called my father yesterday, awoke him from slumber to see if the aftershocks of water were crawling up the Alaskan coast. I found him safe and unaware of the what had transpired while he slept. Today I am going to spend the day with my daughter and my husband, working together to help her meet an important deadline. Oddly I am looking forward to it, simply reveling in a sense of togetherness, a common goal. She is nearly grown, we spend our time planning for the time when she leaves--to begin her solo-chapters---she believes she is ready, I believe she is getting close. I am going to savor this day, this day of togetherness, this day of family.
