Maybe there´s something to be said about those little clouds floating around in the sky - that they really do indicate earthquakes. Last night, at 3:30 in the morning, I woke up to an earthquake. It was big enough to wake me up, but it then stopped, I quickly fell back asleep and completely forgot about it until this morning when the sisters asked me if I felt the earthquake. Then I remembered.
Maybe those little clouds are actually puffs of smoke from a volcano and hence a frontrunner to the rumbling coming. I don´t know, it´s a thought, I can´t figure how clouds are connected to earthquakes. I´ll have to look that up.
At any rate, today the sisters, Solidea, and I are heading out to a house by the ocean for a retreat day. There should be a pool and hammocks which S. Olinda said we can utilize after lunch, when the retreat is done. Sounds good to me. I could use a day of reflection - and I made a point not to bring anything related to lesson planning. (I almost packed it, but then decided not to.)
About Me
- Karina
- Ever since I made my first big decision to leave home and leave behind my status quo life I have had one eye-opening experience after another. Leaving behind everything I knew has put me in touch with so much I had never known, both about myself and the world. Traveling has opened my eyes to other ways of life, other cultures, and other people. Now, as I re-insert myself into working society, I am bringing a fresh new perspective and hope to find a home well suited to it.

Your first earthquake! I remember my first earthquake. It was at about 1 in the morning. It seems like they are always late at night or early in the morn. I remember promptly falling back asleep as well.
Hey! I did wake up, then I sensed that the danger has passed and deemed it safe to sleep again, which I did. :p No need to lose sleep over these things.
