Shaken
As I prepare to escape the city this week, with the G20 Summit and all of the security repercussions taking place in my ‘front yard’, I experienced my first earthquake.
As I stood in my kitchen, the dining room glass & mirrored china cabinet with all of its’ fragile contents began rattling.
Then I heard the sweet sound of wind chimes in my sunroom, which was strange as the patio door was shut.
I called security and determined that indeed Ontario, Quebec and parts of the United States also felt the tremor.
The television news reported a 5.5, then downgraded it to a 5.0 quake that originated near Gatineau, Quebec.
My thoughts then turned to a friend who is vacationing this week at her cottage in the Gatineaus, and I have no way to communicate with her.
Hopefully, she and the foundation of her living structure are safe and sound.
I cannot imagine how people in Haiti and other parts of the world felt/feel when unthinkable disaster strikes.
I was ‘shaken‘ just standing there watching, listening and feeling the ‘earth move under my feet’, and not in a good way as the lyrics of the song imply!
Once again I am reminded that not very much in this life is within my control.
Here I am ready to flee the city and an earthquake occurs! Irony.
In fact, at the precise moment I felt this powerlessness, I also felt fear.
That feeling surprised me as I believe in an afterlife.
Then I realized that there are many dreams I have that are yet to be fulfilled.
Sharing this and countless other experiences in life, both positive and negative, with the ‘one’ who is my counterpart, is not only a wish, but also a prayer of mine.
Whether or not it will be answered in the affirmative I do not know.
When I am reminded that my earthly home is only clay, I am forced to ‘let go’ and realize that God is at the helm.
As a spiritual being my foundation cannot be shaken.
