Poet Theresa Ortez re-joins us today with her wisdom in the wake of the October fires.
Open Your Heart to Compassion
Napa Valley Fire
Our valley filled with smoke
Hearts with love
Tomorrow is promised to no one
Bringing joy, sometimes sorrow
At times you may cry
Like a beautiful cloud
Life passes in the blink of an eye
Shelters filled: men, women, children
Animals running for their lives
No safe place in sight
Flames and smoke in sky
Saying prayers for all who died
For those who have lost all
My tears fall
Open up your hearts and feel compassion
Love and prayers for all
Building a Better Story 
Awesome
