Water should be treated as sacred

I stepped out the front door of the theatre last Saturday night just as the first drops of rain fell. The drops felt as big as marbles.

I ran for my car.

Then the rain came pounding down. Too much, too fast, for windshield wipers to keep up.

Driving home, I counted the gaps between flashes of lightning. Three to five seconds. Once, I got to ten seconds before the next flash.

Water coursed down the gutters. Tree branches, bent under the weight of water running off their leaves, thrashed in gusts of wind.

And I was not in the Bahamas. Where Hurricane Dorian had wreaked utter havoc earlier that week.
