Strange light

Wierd day, and I am done with the fires by the way. So much"stuff" happening.Just thinking about that Julian effect or what ever it is called that describes a minute particle that appears to have the same pattern the further and more encompassing it is. A crystal has microscopic particles that look like crystals. the crystals are in a pattern that resembles the particles making the crystals, on and on into infinity. Apply it to this region on an individual basis and speaking of things much more obscure such as personal tragedy. So much personal tragedy becomes communal, and even global. I work in a space with people from Sweden, Germany, Taiwan, Mexico and all over the US. Each person has received a phone call from a loved mother who was concerned for the safety of the individual here. There must be a huge amount of worry and concern out there. Collective prayers, I wonder what Heaven is hearing. I pray for the animals.

When I woke this morning, the smoke was rising almost straight up. An amazing sunrise through the smoke of the Santiago Canyon fire. That was swept toward Costa Mesa, while the Pendelton fire smoke loomed huge in the sky directly overhead. We have had a strange calm yellow light. The color of Devastation. So much displacement of birds. Ash falls like snow flurries, but we have 90 degree heat.

The show opened tonight. Hurray!

JE's dad is not doing well, and Mom is worried to get a family portrait.
