A challenge to breathe


There will be days, apparently, 
When the smoke from other fires 
Makes it hard to breathe; 
A not so subtle reminder 
 That (a) we’re all connected, 
And (b) it could be so much worse — 
We could be losing our homes to fire, 
Instead of merely struggling to breathe, 
And (c) there are those for whom 
Each breath will be a challenge. 
Do what you can to help, 
And may you find fresh air somewhere in your day.
