Having lived in the Napa Valley at one time, I was particularly anxious for the safety of friends there. Although some had to evacuate, their lives were spared. Hard to imagine that peaceful, beautiful place being under siege, with lives and property lost. Thanks, Bill, to you and your cohort of artists for reminding us of our tenuous balance with nature.
Our cousin's home was destroyed in the Coffey Park fire in Santa Rosa. They rebuilt their home in the same place. One year ago we attended a family baby shower in that new home. The whole neighborhood looks "normal" as if a fire had not happened, except there are no tall trees. We were all affected by this fire in the Bay Area when breathing in this smoke. I appreciate your fire story remembrances.
The visual artistic renditions brought me to tears. Even though I had moved to a different state prior to the fires, I was greatly affected by them because I had been to so many of those places. And bringing the survivors together and sharing stories will have a healing effect. The community of it all.
Thank you for the beautiful art and the telling of your stories. ♥️
