The fire itself was about 10 feet in circumference. A perfect ring, like a glowing red, dancing, stenciled, neat line. It looked eery in the pitch dark of the night. Like in a movie. Anyway, I called 911 and the bomberos (firemen) came to help.
No problem. The fire was out and they just made sure there were no smoldering embers around.
Apparently what happened was a leaning utility pole's wires had brushed another pole, a spark fell to the ground, and since there was absolutely no wind blowing, it burned the leaves and brush in a slow, outward circle. Amazing.
In the morning, the electric company came and repaired the wire, pole, etc.
Wow.
NOTE: update: encountered this beautiful group singing...a ring of fire by the dearly departed Johnny Cash
Sho agreed GOD was so obviously involved in helping us with that fire. In how many ways it's hard to say. It is definitely a miracle. Thank YOU, Higher Power.
A humbling experience. One more thing to be grateful for. Divine intervention. Yeah!
Last night I went to an Alanon speaker meeting and had the privilege of listening to Mary #1 tell her story. Afterward I saw Blackbelt Al-Anon Mary had a lovely, large yellow book titled "Twelves Steps of Adult Children: Steps Workbook". She had an extra one in her car so I bought it for $10. I am all into recovery literature. I love the mental chitter-chatter of reading these authors' conversations. Also, I found it online at....http://www.shop.adultchildren.org/12-Step-Workbook-100-3.htm
Anyway, I've learned to keep an open mind, a willing heart and acceptance that more will be revealed as the journey unfolds. Love, Carol xoxox
