Prompt: Never
Dear Wednesday,
Smoke fills the air today as firefighters battle with a fire on the mountain side. At the moment they are concentrating on preventing the spread of the fire and letting the centre of it burn out— and that makes for billowing clouds of pale smoke that drifts and settles up and down the valley.
The roar of helicopter engines fills the air today as they dip down into lakes and then carry their cargo into the fog. I can’t help but feel this is putting out a bonfire with a teaspoon, but I trust they know what they are doing. The heat is scorching and the fire hops from perch to perch, jumping lines in its hunger for fuel.
Meanwhile we float on the lake, lazy spectators of a massive natural drama.
And I ponder today’s prompt, “never” by presenting a few of my favourite cartoons, which may or may not relate to the topic:
Peace and love,
