The Lahaina firestorm was a cataclysmic event on many levels. Friends that were not there, didn't live there, used to live there or just visited often feel the loss too. They’ve often expressed some guilt when voicing the pain of it. As if my pain is greater than there's. Pain is painful. This particular incident was a bomb that went off in all our lives. The crater is huge and the shock wave went far beyond the town limits of Lahaina.
Community is not bound by geography. It's a heartfelt vibration. We who were blessed enough to have experienced that fellowship have been deeply wounded, shattered. Gutted beyond words.
Right now the people of Lahaina have been blasted to all parts of the planet. The ones that remain, still challenged to find basic normalcy.
The outpouring of love that we all felt was humbling. Now the media attention has moved on and we are dealing with the debris of our lives.
