And we do not have to be afraid.
We will, however, need to be brave.
That would have been the feel good thing to do. Pretty words of kindness certainly feel more appealing than the apocalypse. But those pretty words were only a bandaid on a deep and festering underlying wound.
I don't say this to diminish the potential suffering of the wildfire, but to place it in a larger context of this transformation that's currently underway.
But it would not have saved us.
At least now we can see what's going on.
