On Natural Disasters & People

“While a hurricane may be a blessing in disguise

As it brings people together, as they work to bring about outcomes that are impossible to bring about without the help of others

As it provides us with the opportunity to be in each other’s debt,

An even greater victory would be to welcome a hurricane with open arms

|

We will then think back to the days where we feared hurricanes, refer to stories that were written in those days; and return to writings where we have attempted to stray away from commodifying natural disasters, accept disasters for what they are – out of a desire to reduce fearfulness, prevent panic, and facilitate preparedness”
