At the crack of this dawn we lie in the sanctity of our sleeping bag knowing only one thing for sure, we are alive. Like a soldier cocooned in a fox hole the shelling, for now, seems to have stopped.
To contemplate courage in the warm light of day is one thing, to search for it alone in the dark night is another; with only our soul’s voice to guide us to what we truly cherish.
These times bring us present to the value of steps taken to protect that which we hold most dear; and the potential cost of those not chosen.
If we take steps to protect my financial future and are wrong, what is the downside? If the steps are easy and carry little cost, am I truly present to the value of peace of mind they will bring?
With any storm, the value is in the preparation as it can be too late to start getting ready after the storm hits.
With any storm, the value is in the preparation as it can be too late to start getting ready after the storm hits.
As our Captain has said many times: “Never underestimate the power of denial”
Are we in denial, maybe or maybe not? If someone is willing to make a case, are we open to listen? Are we willing to take steps even though we may not yet believe?
These thoughts run through our head as we feel the hesitation reaching for the fly on our tent, knowing that in the next few seconds, the destruction we are about to see and experience may change our life forever.
