This wild fire has exposed an aspect of my personality that I didn't know was there. In the face of danger I become calm and inappropriate. When I wrote the title to this blog I admit that I was chuckling. I get some sort of villainous pleasure from it. Partially because I don't think that it will happen so I can make jokes at the expense of the thing which will not happen. If it did happen, what can we do? Nothing. Yes, it would be terrible. The retreat would be totally disrupted. Homes could be lost. However, as things go in this world it would not be so surprising. Americans are catching up to the rest of the world in respects to the experience of disaster. Buddhist meditators are not immune to disaster. Nor are care takers of Buddhist meditators.
