all I have is all I need

these woods have taken a beating. hurricane sandy tore huge trees from their roots and splintered tremendous limbs.

 

and yet walking amongst it all, the woods seem to have a quiet acceptance. a determination to go on.

 

for 8 days we lived without power. without heat, light or hot water. I looked around at my neighborhood, the immense destruction, it was a place that was unrecognizable.

 

but so many other places were so much worse. hit so much harder. truly destroyed.

 

all I could think, all I could feel, was gratitude. my family was safe.

 

a quiet acceptance. a determination to go on.
