WildWords – When Noon Went Dark

On this day,
May 19, 1780,
the sky forgot its brightness.

Noon came wearing midnight.
Candles were lit at tables,
in churches,
in homes where people looked upward
and wondered if the world
was ending.

Perhaps it was only smoke,
fog,
cloud,
fire carried on the wind.

But those beneath it
did not know.

And perhaps that is the lesson:
we often live inside the darkness
before we understand its cause.

We name it judgment,
doom,
abandonment,
the end.

But sometimes
the light has not died.
It is only hidden.

And somewhere beyond the smoke,
beyond the fog,
beyond the heavy cover
of what we cannot yet explain,

the sun remains.

This is effectively, #geoengineering

While an interesting and innovative approach to combat #forestfires it is only needed because of #climatechange and #forest mismanagement.

WILDFIRES SCAR LANDSCAPES, LEAVING BEHIND A HAUNTING THREAT OF MUD AND ROCK

Wildfires make land unstable, leading to mudslides and rock flows when it rains. This affects homes and roads near burned forests.

After wildfires, rain can cause dangerous mudslides. This is a bigger problem now because wildfires are happening more often.
