The older I get the more I believe that schedules, lists and plans are put in place purely for that illusion of control...what did I write recently about life happening while we're making plans?
The wind began on Wednesday. These were not just any winds. They roared up the valley and behind the Chatette at what seemed hurricane strength to me. Moving items that could turn into projectiles to safety, I felt like one of those news anchor people in the wind waiting for the rain of the hurricane to arrive. At night, it sounded like I lived in the middle of Wuthering Heights and Cathy was calling to Heathcliff!
I've experienced them here before so Wednesday didn't worry me too much. I still had time to do what I needed to do outside. Thing is...they hung around till Friday evening and most of Friday our electricity was on and off. My five days have turned into two. I am moving forward. Our candles kicked in and helped me to center. I did things that needed to get done and could be done without electricity. I triaged my list once more and dropped items that would have been nice to do, but just really weren't life and death essential. As much as I love blogging and would like to do it right up to the time I go...it isn't life and death essential. So, this is a bientôt y'all for now. I'll be back when I'm back.
Oh, it is a bit difficult to imagine, but I assume it works as a kind of tunnel, when the wind is going through the Valley, take care, wish all the best with your travel, love from Niels and Bodil in snowing Tromso, yes ! snow is just outside the door and we need to put on the metal spikes on the shoes and just started to pack down for moving south ! and blogging is fun but not all !
