A Georgian’s Thoughts About Hurricane Irma

A Georgian’s Thoughts About Hurricane Irma

I tried to think about writing about something else today, but I really can’t bring myself to do it. I have so many friends, and some family, that decided to ride out Irma in their own homes. Even though the worst part of her has past them, I’m still looking up pictures of the damage and monitoring her path.   I live north of Atlanta, Georgia, so Irma is something we’ve been tracking, even though…

What irks my soul:

When people ask you why you still talk to your ex.

1. It’s not your business. The reason we broke up is between us, while you may know fragments you don’t know the whole story.

2. If my ex is able to comfort me from a whole nother state while your nosy ass ain’t doin’ shit but getting on my very last nerves, then you don’t need to ask questions as you clearly are not on my radar.

3. If my ex manages to treat me better and try to buy me a ticket to his house out of state because I’m going to be in a hurricane, but your ass refuses to drive me home, even though we’re neighbors, kiss my ass.

I talk to him because he’s obviously a better person than you, he knows that even though we’re ex’s we were friends before and still are friends now, that's not gonna change. So do us both a favor and mind your business.

When they come knocking, we greet them like old friends. We are on a first name basis.

And it’s easy to forgot the last time, and the time before that, when they threw all the chairs across the lawn and smashed all the potted plants. When they grasped with curling fists at heavy branches and tugged until each one snapped. We made it, in the end. 

And we hear how rude they were to the neighbors, how they pounded at the doors and left only splinters behind. Still, we do not shutter our windows to their reach. We do not know the rising water until it rings our feet.

With enough time, you will feel them coming. The thick still of the air. The whip and churn in your gut. You will know they bring no good and still you will wait, arms outstretched.

Hurricane thoughts

Here is my body  I’m made of bones and missing jigsaw pieces I can draw you disassociation It’s a cube where none of the lines intersect My doctors have not worked this one out yet But each morning I thread ribbon through  My limbs and reattach them to my torso In the hope that one day Soon They will attach themselves I just want to feel whole Depression is the pet I never wanted to take home It’s the feeling of being in the sea Surrounded by so much natural beauty That becomes difficult to look at when  You keep drowning Anxiety is being trapped within a cage having Thoughts hurled around you at hurricane speed There is no chance to make Sense of this mess but I am relearning all The rhythms of my heartbeats And how my stomach can manage to tie knots in an instant I understand that the Pressure around my ribcage can become stronger And there’s that familiar heart attack pain but this is only momentary So here is my body telling me to slow down Breathe and I am learning to listen

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.

Alfred North Whitehead 

I'm often asked by my students why learning math is important given the existence of supercomputers and websites like Wolfram Alpha.  I always come back to this quote and the importance of problem solving and critical thinking skills.

I wish I had my SpiritHood here with me. Then I would be really cozy and feel extra awesome.
