Every year
With words upon the page
Has never not been a challenge
This year is different
It has been a week
Of flooding
Plains of land filled with water
Sudden laking of river
Aftermath of flooding,
Keeping towns completely cut off
Writing can be both blessing
And curse
Writing can be itself flooding
An escape to the chaos
Writing time to forget
Forgetting everything, processing things
Writing and reading
Make others feel not alone
Even in moments such as these
Isolated from others
Water rushing by a front door
Storytelling is how to make sense of the world
We need them now more than ever
Process or escape
Good or bad times
Fortitude and understanding
These will resonate
With someone
Somewhere
They
You
We are not alone
