A disaster within....
Mother Nature has sure been in the news lately!
Hurricanes, Earthquakes
Some of the 'disasters' that man has labeled when mother nature becomes boorish.
That leads to the destruction of property and losses that man has no choice but to kneel and bow thee!

The Mom
"Sam hurry up! it's time to leave for school."
"Yeah" came a response amidst the wide yawn.
"Did you put your lunch box, water bottle in your bag?"
"Yeeees!" he muttered.
"Sam eat your breakfast! Why are you daydreaming? The school bus will be here any minute!" she stressed.
Sam rolled his eyes, and he could not contain himself, "MOM! Let it go!" he shrilled.

Happy Holidays!

The Hermit
The sun was disappearing over the horizon.
The noise was deafening as the waves clashed against each other but that did not deter my steps.
Was it the coolness that encouraged me to move on or was it the mind that had escaped to a location that made me a recluse.
It was just me and my memories with them as a toddler, a teen and an adult.
