So Far, Yet So Near

When I read about a fire in San Diego, California, I ignored it. But when I opened an e-mail from a friend in the US, living in San Diego, I went back to the news report.

I read the e-mail with horror- it's pouring ashes on his house. His friends living close to the area on fire have been evacuated and still don't know what happened to their homes.

When someone close to you is hurt, it hurts you. And when you are hurt, it pains so much that you are embarassed to display or share it. You are hidden by the veneer that is your face.
