In the last 3 weeks. members of the San Joaquin Subud Center have been under fire evacuation warnings due to the KNP complex fire. On October 8th, Sulfiati Harris sent the photo and a more hopeful update as below:
“It is raining right now, a good strong soaking. Here is a photo of our deck today.
Also, I want to share this beautiful message sent to a friend of mine from a man in Idaho who has experienced this kind of event and has words about what is to come: It is so hard, but there is
beauty in the terrible action. There will be morels & other edible mushrooms, in abundance that will be inspiring. The new grasses & shrubs, that have been void under the canopy of the thick forest, will bring all of the grazing animals, & the fungi & insects will come quickly, bringing the scavengers & the birds. Most sad will be the Styrofoam charcoal remnants of the noblest guardians of your previous forest, but then you will witness new trees rising from the stumps. We know that scars are not ugly &, like everything in life, they are not permanent, but they are the most interesting part of the story. You will find that unique beauty, that can only be derived from the flames & it will inspire you.”
