interesting that on Monday as I drove away from the place where we had sheltered from the hurricane, with windows open, I inhaled that smell of fresh damp earth all around me and instantly that word popped into my head, I thought, "petrichor". And then I thought to myself, who can I share this with that will even care or understand what I am feeling right now. There's a certain invincibility that comes from staring down a huge storm that is barreling straight for you and you dodge that bullet. I was exceedingly grateful in that moment. Thank you.
Cynthia, I love this. Isn't it amazing how nature can often stop us dead in our tracks with gratitude and awe? I'm glad you weathered the hurricane safely.
