TO THE WHO THAT IS ME

I WONDER – IF they are going to burn down my state.   Will they blame the Climate as they light the tinder?   Likely.  Near My town the fires are blazing, burning out of control.   Out of Control.   650 homes and an entire mall gone in a matter of hours…   My son explained that it was so fearsome a person had literally 5 minutes from the time the fire hit their ‘street’ until it annihilated their house completely.    Winds topped 115 mph.

It has been a nasty la Nina, with dry dry conditions.   La Nina can last anywhere from 2 – 7 YEARS!.   We are in – maybe 10 months???

Some places dread earthquakes, others tornadoes, and still others hurricanes and floods, while Colorado has it’s own ‘wicked witch of the west’ which includes its seasons of disrepute; ie, winter, summer, spring or fall… HA.   Why do I live here?

My ex-husband used to say that he would sincerely miss my humor.   He used to say, ‘life with you is never boring’.   I took that as a compliment.   For me, the worst death would be a life that is – boring – or without a passion.  There have been a few that asked me to be less – than who I am.   Too this – too that.   So the person wants to be with me, except not the me that is me, the me, he wants to recreate to be me, so that I can then fall in step with his version of – me – and He will be happy.

But what about me?  I ask.  And he replies, “Who?’.
