Right now we are sitting here trying to feel safe. We keep coming and going like it is all we can do right now to find some sort of safety. Anything to feel something but this cold. This cold shooting through our very being. The howling winds keep knockingus off line, the televison keeps losing signal, the lights keep going on and off, and the sirens keep going up and down. All too close to something we have been through. All too close to those who hurt and who did not care.

We cannot find any warmth and we keep feeling like something is about to happen. Just like when we used to wait and watch. It is not good and we are all scared. And we cannot reach out and we cannot reach in. The howling winds sopund like they are right in our place and they relentlessly are strong and we feel so afraid.

Things are not okay right now. We are trying so hard but it is not okay. Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay, please be okay.
