Ramblings from a sleepless night
Ah, as I await for Tropical Storm Lane, or perhaps Hurricane Lane, I feel its impact upon my life---a little twinge perhaps. Maybe a changed
vacation, a moment of compassion, or another drop into Corky’s bucket. The impact only scratches the outer layer; the core is intact.
I traverse the surface, marvel at the beauty, and lament the loss that development stamps out. But, I have no stake; I own no land, I live in the
north, and changing direction for vacation, is only a matter of turning the wheel.
The locals I fear will be left with nothing; I send donations. Impulse dictates not to worry about the “rich” ex-pats, but my heart feels the loss of
a dream; the loss of a future not yet lived and a life savings floating out to sea.
So, as Lane approaches, the trip intended to go south, now heads northeast---I will be safe; Lane will not interfere---I have no stake. Only my heart
feels pain; pain I cannot identify.
If Lane will only turn west.

Diane, you don't sound all that detached to me! You may not be physically in BCS, but your mind & your heart is! Thanks for caring &
sharing! I've got the duct tape, mop & towels close at hand! 
It's Understandable

To say the least Diane. Your heart shows your passion and concern.
Some years ago I would not have paid much attention. Now, how could I not. How could I not feel a sense of personal responsibility to help in some
way.
But still, even with another drop, I feel blessed my bucket is only half full.

Great Attitude you have Corky! To choose it only half full. Not many people can look at it this way!
CHEERS - over a half glass of whatever you fancy !!
And Diane: I know this ambivalent thoughts. Nothing to do with detaching, just beeing cautious - and that is wise!
