One thing I can say about the pandemic is that it has brought us closer to nature. And sometimes closer to long lost friends. Today I met with my high school best friend from over 20 years ago. The only thing we could safely do was go for a picnic and a walk. That was just what both of us needed. We reconnected with each other and were grounded by the serene lake. The trees and rock and birds were oblivious to our problems, stress, and anxiety. And so for a little while we escaped them too.

Something worrisome now is we are having a drought and a heat wave. Weve gone from a state of emergency of the pandemic to replacing it with wild fires. The province is on fire right now … a whole town burnt down s week ago.i tell you its been one thing after another this last 18 months. All the bad things going on: 1. Overdose crisis 2. Covid pandemic 3. Terrible smoke in august 2020 due to wildfires in California, Washington and Oregon 4. Moths by the 1000’s 5. Drought in July 2021 6. BC Wildfires in 2021 Its bad having to deal with so many things at once.
