Flood

January 20, 2011

The past few weeks my city has been inundated, taken by a deluge, paralysed. We, luckily were unaffected, isolated, without power for a day- but dry, comfortable, and fearless.

I know people who were stressed, panicked, isolated, homeless and lost everything- I feel for them.

All that time I was stuck- paralysed, lost, and disconnected. It makes me realise how useless I would be in a crisis. It also made me think about how much I am letting go- of everything.

When thousands of volunteers ventured out last weekend, we put in a few hours to help our friends. It made me feel better- but now I feel guilty about how little I had done.

In a way, it made me think of where my head’s been at while I haven’t been blogging like I did. I probably have a lot more emotion than I did, often a flood of emotion- but really don’t want to share it with others, I don’t need other people to see that. It has also made me realise how much I have let slip by me- events wise, change wise even though I occasionally journal, occasionally take pictures, it’s not the same. I think I need to document still – just maybe not share.

So I’m going to blog- no timeframe, no agenda, no pressure and see if it works, or if I really can keep doing this.
