Smoke and ashes
fill the lungs of the children
celebrating another birthday
and I missed it
packing things of importance.

Be safe, Martie, and please check in with us when you can.
California is my birth home state, and this is really horrible news to watch on TV.

I was worrying for you today, as we boogied south to get out of the smoke....and got into more, having conveniently forgotten that San Diego is also on fire.

Hope things don't get any worse than they are.

Our California poets have been so much in my thoughts and prayers... stay safe!!! I know those packed treasures are dampened with tears and fears... my heart aches for all of you in danger's path.

Martie, I don't know how many more of you poets are out there, but I have really been thinking of you, Ratleader, and Bluesey and all of your loved ones. Please stay safe.
I can only imagine what you're going through.
With love and hugs,

With many others, I offer good thoughts for your safety, but the stark message of your few words is awesome. KJ

It's pretty bad down here, sorry to hear you've got it around LA too. I think we'll all be having some California Dreams, from the toxins in this smoke!

Smoke and ash, yes.... but many more important things are there and I applaud you for hanging on to them. You're inspiring, to say the least.
