Post-Flood Reflection

The Flood loss lessens each day.

The future becomes more clear.

Flood Loss is metaphorically similar to human loss.

Both are a known and predictable event, we just don’t know the when.

I, being the glass half-full guy, am way ahead of my curve.

Having down-shifted, prior flood, into my eighties,

  I can see more clearly the eventual shift,

     into the bedroom-free downstairs.

I can visualize that room now as the movie room, a movie screen at the far end [by the garage] with many chairs, etc. in the entrance area and just into the room, still separated by double-curtains.

Possibly, high up, book shelves on either side, where on non-movie days, this could be a community library reading room.  Home also to Peter’s Book Club [sorry, moved from the Senior Center].  After school homework study hall, local empowerment center, chess club, and tutor-help.

The entry, main, room, I see as a daytime meeting area, in a quiet environment: chairs, tables, blackboards, whiteboards, WiFi, rent it for $5 an hour.

The kitchen with running water and a sink, Microwave convection oven only, tables.

Two bathrooms kept going. Sauna/Shower, hallway bath to laundry room and full garage.

Floor happily as “sanded T&G plywood” with carpets as necessary.

To just have written this, and realized what I have said,

Short of a sermon on Sunday, this could be a Church site.

This was, secularly, the Guerneville Community Church.
