Aura

Hazy, hot, stagnant heat with cough Humidity reaching 100 degrees Waiting for storms to cool off And also maybe a cool breeze Resorting on water to get by I think I prefer winter and woodstove I feel like I’m in a fog, like I could cry Dreams of being in a cool ocean cove The heat wave has lasted a while here It’s been a tough summer in many ways I know others struggle lately everywhere As we try to hold onto hope these days A lot of effort to survive and get by Holding onto faith, love and light Remember, you are not alone When there’s an aura like the dark of night Heidi Sands 7/24/22

Blame human activity for climate change! It's a truth of life that we must accept. Heidi, I hope you can move to a milder climate soon. In spite of everything, you are not alone. When the air is cool, as though it were late at night.

I actually love where I live , but over time I am liking the winters better even though we have rough winters. Each summer , we do get periodic heat waves. Thank you for your visit Sotto :)

Government continue hoping the climate change will cure everything so they won't need to do anything and can take the credit for everything, so enjoy your evening! Aloha!

It seems the whole nation is in grip of heat and humidity--and forests burning. I know how you feel. You spell the essence in these lines: Remember, you are not alone When there’s an aura like the dark of night...
