Use me as a vessel,
to carry you through,
the treacherous waters,
during dark nights.
Let me be your eyes,
when you cannot see,
to guide you to shore.
Let me be your ears,
when the wind gushes so loud,
you cannot hear.
Let me carry you over the bridges,
rivers and oceans ,
so that you may feel loved and protected
from the perils of the storm.
Will you do the same for me?
We need each other.
When one can’t hear,
the other can see,
when one can’t see,
the other can hear.
Together, we can bridge,
whatever storm comes our way,
no mater how big or how small.
Use me and I’ll use you.
We’ve got this you and me!
We have had some outrageous weather conditions in California which you’ve probably heard about if you follow the news. While it’s sad that so many places have flooded, we are long over due and we have been in a drought for so long now and desperately need the rain. When it rains it pours.
We sold our house to my mother and stepdad when we were building a home about 40 years ago and the big oak tree in front of their house fell down. It was so sad but thankfully, no one was injured. Santa Cruz and Capitola had some major flooding and part of the pier collapsed.
Yesterday we went to half moon bay to pick up some door from our painter and the whole block next to him was completely flooded and they are in hotels now. Wild how some are spared and some are not during these natural disasters.
It’s being called The Bomb Cyclone:
SAN FRANCISCO – A powerful and deadly bomb cyclone pounded California with heavy rain and high winds this week and was just one in a series of storms that will impact the West in the coming days. Drivers barrel into standing water on Interstate 101 in San Francisco, California on January 4, 2023.3 days ago
It’s nothing like you all get in other parts of the world but it’s big for us and another one is supposed to hit this week.
This is in front of my mothers house in Menlo Park, Ca.


Over a 100 year old oak tree that is the focal point of the cul de sac
Driving in San Carlos, California
Have a great week ahead. We’re gearing for more storms this week and then doing some damage control and adding french drains in our yard as our tiki bar we just finished has taken a hit with water damage.
On the plus side the lakes should be filling up and hopefully we’ll finally have water at our lake house this summer which is long overdue. It’s up at least a foot at the moment I hear.
Stay safe and be there for each other in all you do!
Blessings of Love,
💗

It sure was Tim. Very Lucky. Thanks a lot! Good to see you back and loved your song BTW❣️
Stay safe! I love the poem
Thanks a lot Nick. Much appreciated! Will do!❣️
Poetbis awesome
Poet is
A wonderful, communal poem most fitting for such an occasion! And, congratulations on finally getting some rain…just not soooo much rain!! Sorry to read about the old oak tree. Keep dry and stay sweet, dear Cindy 💕xo
Thanks Phil. I wrote it when I was walking in it ..lol I know it’s awesome and scary but needed. It’s always all or nothing I know always sad but more coming. Thanks my dear friend!❣️
Wonderful lines, for togetherness and team work.
Thanks dear Eunice,. ! ❤️
🙏🙏🙏.
❤️
Frightening how high the water is. How were you able to drive through that without your car stalling?? What a terrible loss of the oak tree. I fear flooding across the globe is going to bring a lot of trees down 🙁
Totally. Luckily I wasn’t in the car. A friend sent that to me. So sad and there are more happening and coming. When it rains it pours or it’s all drought here.. 😾
I think those downpours are the worst where the ground isn’t used to that much rain.
totally true … ugh
So glad that no one was hurt at your mom’s place but really sad about this terrible weather. Hope things look up soon!
Really nice poem and ofcourse, if you need anything – here for you! 🙂
Thanks soooo much Ru… Ok can you fly over and help me siphon this out.. lol You are tooo sweet.. thanks my friend! ❣️
So glad to hear you are safe, Cindy. Sounds scary. Sorry about the tree but so glad no one was hurt. “Together, we can bridge,
whatever storm comes our way,” So very true💕
Thank you sooo much Grace.. I really appreciate your comment and wishes.. Glad you liked that line so true. Just seeing this somehow.. xo 💗
My pleasure, Cindy 💕🙏💕
💗❤️💗
❤️💞❣️
Wow! Floods cause so much damage, stay safe in the coming days. That tree is something! 😓
I know so much damage.. the tree was incredible.. thanks my friend! ❣️
💓
Thank yo, Cindy, for the most beautiful and moving poem!
Joanna
Oh you’re welcome and thank you dear Joanna. So glad you liked my poem! ❤️
Agree. “Thankfully no one was injured.”
Thankfully for sure Tangie.. thanks sooo much ! ❣️
Exquisite poem with a powerful message, Cindy! Love and trust build relationships. <3
The loss of the old tree is so sad! Our area lost many old oak trees, one next to us.
It's wonderful that California's bodies of water are being replenished! Hopefully, your French drains will protect your property, and floods and storm damage across the state will be minimal going forward. I think about you when I see the news, and I am glad you are OK. <3
Thank you so much Cheryl! That’s exactly right. I was walking in HMB Sat and these lines dropped in. I’m always grateful for that.
But Yes, the old tree is so sad. You have had your time of all of this and no better than anyone how sad it is. Yes, I hope so too. We should have started putting them in last week but then thought, “we’ll wait until it’s over”. Fat chance of that any time soon but I’m not complaining by any means. Feeling grateful really. Thanks so much, my clients are braving the storm and the machines are working with no power outages so for which is awesome. xoxo
Sending my love and prayera to you and everyone affected by the storm Cindy.🙏🌹
Thank you so much Mich! It’s very much appreciated!! 💗
Heard all about it on the news here. Take care of yourselves and stay safe My Friends.
Thanks a lot Goff! So far everyone is safe which is the main thing! 💗
So True.
Beautiful poem Cindy! Stay safe❤️
Thank you so much Sheereen!! Happy you liked it!
I will for sure. Hope you are well! 💗
I am good. How about you?
Oh good.. oh you know,.. lol. I’ll ping you! 💞
Sure❤️😃
xo
Oh no! This is the first time I’m hearing of all the flooding. I’m so sorry your area has experienced so much flooding and resulting damage. Praying for you and all of California. Be careful and stay safe 🙏🏽💛
Thanks so much Taylor! It’s unusual for us to have this kind of flooding for sure! Thanks for the prayers and wishes.! ❤️🙏🏼
Such beautiful tender thoughts Cindy🤍 prayers for safety your way 🙏
Thank you so much Destiny. I’m happy you enjoyed my words and your prayers are so much appreciated! ❣️
A pleasure always Cindy 🙏🤍
Yikes. Such tragedy. Happy no one was hurt from the trees falling, west a loss. Thanks for the up-close replay. The poem is lovely. We need each other. None of us can do life alone.
Thanks Dawn. We have been so used to the drought, no one knows what hit them around here. There have been some tragedy’s which is always sad, but so far not that many deaths. Let’s pray there aren’t more. We do need each other Dawn, more than ever. I agree. Your wishes are appreciated! 🙏🏼 💗
There are so many natural disasters and each seem to be outdoing the other. Sending best wishes for y’all to be/remain safe Cindy.
You’re so right!💗
We’ve had a ton of rain, but nothing as bad as what you are showing. Oh my. I hope everyone is getting through it.
I’m trying to remember where you are Jacqui? I know it’s shocking when you live here all of your life and stumble upon this. We had that one limb fall early on but we’re ok. My dad was out of power for 2 days and he’s 88 and his GF is 92 and they’re up the hill. Ugh. Thanks a lot 💗🙏🏼
Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Laleh! ❤️
😘😘😘
🥰💗😍
Wow! Thank you for the local, “on-the-(wet)- ground” reporting.
News as it happens Patrick.. lol … You’re most welcome! ❣️
I’m so sorry for all you out there dealing with this flooding. I hold you in my heart. And the poem! I just love it.
When one can’t hear,
the other can see,
when one can’t see,
the other can hear.
Together, we can bridge,
whatever storm comes our way,
Thank you so much Barbara. Much appreciated my friend. Oh so happy you like my poem. I’m delighted those words were meaningful to you. My dad can’t see, my mom and FIL can’t hear and I’m halfway in between. Ugh.. Hugs and Love! ❣️
I can relate to the problems of aging parents and feeling helpless due to distance. My parents always lived so far away that it took flights with layovers to get to them. Finally, mom moved to my town, and I was able to help her much better. Hence, my book! ✨
Yes, you can Barbara, It can be so difficult to be far. I’m lucky mine are all close but one lives up the hill which is tough where the power goes out a lot. What a gift you were to her and your book is so touching and beautiful, the parts I’ve read!❣️
Thank you again! ♥️🙏🌺🌹
Indeed!❣️
Beautiful poem, Cindy, and I literally feel your words because we live in the bay area; San Francisco is in our back yard. It’s that old adage, “Be careful what you wish for.” We need rain so badly like you said since we’ve been in a long, long drought, but then it comes in buckets causing floods and havoc for many. We’ve been spared so far, fingers crossed, but we all have to endure what comes this week. Take good care and stay safe. ❤️
Thanks so much Lauren. Oh wow, S.F. is really something right now. It’s so crazy how that is right? Nothing and then everything! Oh good, glad to hear that you have been spared so far! Hope we both make it through the week without any more issues. It’s horrible for sure but we have so needed rain. I will and you do the same. 💞💗💞
A very beautiful poem, Cindy! We all humans feel so helpless in front of such natural disasters. It’s unfortunately becoming so frequent in one part of the globe or the other.
We have to work hard to establish a semblance of balance with the nature.
Thank you so much Mousumi! This. is so true and it really lets us know how much we are one and how each drop of water, blood etc, affects us all. Well said and thank you so much for your important comment my friend. 💞
It’s all my pleasure.❤
❤️

This is what I am looking for this year. The kind of relationships and community that I can read this to them and they feel the reciprocation of it. They understand the ebb and flow of a healthy relationship. When I read it to myself, I can think of them. Those are the ones I am searching for. Beautiful.
….and the flooding! I am so sorry and I am sending prayers that water will recede and everyone will get the relief they need!
Oh thank you very much. We are long over due so I hope it’s worth it all in the long run. Your prayers are appreciated!!! 🙏🏼💗
Oh I love this and I’m happy to share real life, real time where we are in it together Queen Mary! This is what I want as well and I’m glad you made it here and we can share our journey’s together. ❣️
Hello from Southern California! We are feeling it here too in Riverside county. The barn where my horses are had been so flooded that we had to move some horses in fear of them getting stuck in the mud. We have finally gotten it under control only for it to start raining again tonight and storms all of tomorrow and from Friday through Monday. I have never seen this amount of rain in all of my 28years of life! I have only lived in Southern California, and this is very odd weather. I hope you stay dry, and thank you for sharing your beautiful poem. Stay safe out there! 🥰
Hey There!
Thanks for sharing all of your news and I’m so sorry for your horses. That is such a drag. I know, that’s the wild part, that there’s no end in sight at least at the moment. Crazy. Who woulda thunk! I’ve never seen anything like it either!!! It’s odd for your neck of the woods for sure. My son lives in Hermosa Beach… not sure it made it’s way to him or not.
Oh, I’m happy to hear you liked my poem as well, thank you so much and you stay safe as well! 💞🙏🏼
You’re very welcome! It’s quite the drag, especially the aftermath when I have to clean the mud from the horses 😂😂 it’s most definitely weird. Today, we had sideways sheets of rain and very intense wind gusts that are knocking a lot of trees down!
Of course! It was quite a lovely poem 😊
oh man… more here too!! feeling blessed that my brand new construction is ok as I’m hearing of some that just finished their houses and they are moving out right around me. Thank god my drainage ok except the tiki bar. The tequila might come in handy in there.. lol
Hang in there.. more trees to come.. YIKES
Awww thanks again!
Lol save the tequila! Yes! It’s a doozy. I’m glad your house is doing ok! Our side of the apartment complex is doing ok, but the other side flooded, and they had to put tenets up in hotels 😱
You’re very welcome 😊
hahahah. We gotta laugh or we’ll go cra cra.
It’s amazing from one side of the street to the other. Same with my painter. I’m kinda thinking a Hawaii hotel is sounding pretty good about now. lol
Haha 😂 Hawaii is looking pretty nice! We are actually thinking of a vacation home there down the line…
🥂🥂🥂
Isn’t it a shame that there are no underground drainage ditche from all over to drain water and ship it directly to the storage lakes? What were they thinking in the 1800s when they started developing the land anyway?
Totally! I keep thinking of that as well Marsha and a way to transport it to others in need.. It’s always “do or die”
We’ve been seeing images on tv of SLO and Santa Barbara. Are you getting as much deluge?
oh many it’s something. My dad has no power again and it’s such a drag since i can’t communicate with him. xo
Are you safe tonight? We saw a horrible sink hole on the news. I hope you new house is out of danger!!!
OMG .. the sink holes are the worst. It was weird walking where I usually do and seeing the ground GONE! I am thanks. Pumping out the tiki bar and I’ve called about some questionable trees. Thanks for your TLC Marsha! ❤️
Well, take care. I’ll be praying for you.
thanks so much dear!! ❣️
Of course!
❤️

Yes, Cindy, I had seen the devastating scenes on television. It’s so unfortunate and scary. Sorry about the oak tree! I’m glad you all are safe. My love and prayers! But I appreciate your poem, so appropriate! Mutual love and respect are very much needed to maintain ecological balance. Stay safe and blessed! Have a nice week ahead ❤️
It really has been a shame to see and it is scary but we are so long overdue. Let’s just not have an earthquake now. We are overdue for that as well! It was soooo sad that tree but like you say, at least everyone is safe~! That’s the main thing. I’m glad you liked my poem KK, thank you! It dropped in when I was walking. I appreciate your beautiful wishes. I will and you too my friend! ❣️
You’re always welcome, Cindy! Take care ❤️💐
Thanks xo (emoji’s are gone at the moment )
No issue, words and feelings are truer ❤️
You’re so right! 💞
Love the poem. Sorry about the storm damage. Weather seems to be crazy everywhere.
Thank you so much VJ .. you were in spam. It does seem to be crazy.. i’m going to finally turn on the news today.. lol❣️
I heard about the weather/natural disaster in California and it’s really sad news. Hope everything is okay soon. Sending lots of positive energy your way! 💖🤗
Thank you so much Pooja! It’s been crazy and I do hope to get some relief so we can add those drains into our poor tiki bar! 💗
My pleasure! I hope you do soon! 💖
Thanks a lot!💗
You’re totally welcome! 😊
xoxoxo
🙏🏼❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’ve been praying for all the people who have been affected by the crazy weather conditions going on right now here in California. Hope you and your family keep staying safe!
Thank so much Joyce. That’s really sweet of you. It’s crazy alright! I’m ready for summer.. hahaha, I’m happy for the wishes! 💗
What an oak!! I am so sorry to see that and hear about the weather issues there! I know the power was out Saturday where Dr. Bruce Lipton lives (in CA or Washington state, not sure which).
It really was. I’m looking at one overhanging my deck and my massage room thinking we should trim it up because it’s humunbgai and that one could fall on the house. Yeah… my dad and his G.F. didn’t have power for 2 days and they were freezing which isn’t good when you’re 88 and 92. xo 💗
Ohh nooo! Freezing is not good!!
I know for sure… hope they don’t loose power again! ❣️burrr
Cindy, your poem highlights compassion and humanity. 💞 Those images are incredible. Goodness! And potentially dangerous! Stay safe out there.
It came to me when I was walking over there Michele. Thanks so much. I’m glad you liked it. They really are something for our neck of the woods for sure. 💗
From those images, I can see how it moved you so. Nice work capturing the emotion in words. 💗
Thank you so much again!❣️
💜 SomeTimes I go to sleep hoping I won’t wake up EveryOne; but I AM NOT!!! allowed to die EveryBody even though Death is NOT!!!

Lovely verse and reminder how we need each other and people often rise up to help in challenging times like your flooding. I’m glad you’re safe Cindy.
Thank you so much Brad,. You’re so right. That is always the gift of these kinds of disasters. It’s heartwarming to see❣️ I’m ok with the storm but I tried to stop Hunter and the neighbor dog fighting and they ran into my knee. I’m hobbling with a cane at the moment but was able to see clients thankfully. Fingers crossed it heals without any intervention. 🤞🏻💗
Love the teamwork and one-ness you show in your words…and with the devastation you highlighted after…it is certainly needed 💞💞💞
Thank you so much Dawn. I so much appreciate your kind words. It really is needed, you’re right 💞💞💞
Oh my dear Cindy, I am so sad to hear about the damage that occurred to your Mom’s house. And girlfriend, your poem brought tears to my eyes. Oh my goodness, you composed this with heart and soul. Love this my dear. So powerful! Thank you for sharing such a special part of your heart with us. 🥰🥂🌞💖🤗 Hugs and smooches! 😘💋🥳
aww thanks so much Kym Dawwwwwlink! It was such a bummer. Wild how shallow those roots were really! Ohhhhh, I’m so happy to hear that, I appreciate it. It was a gimme as the words just popped out as I was here walking in Half Moon Bay. You are a dear for feeling my heart beneath my words, thank you so very much. Hugs and smooches to you as well! 💗
Oh my dear Cindy, inspiration can come from the least expected places. In order to deal with our emotions sometimes, we find a way to express what our heart feels positively, whether through music, art, photography, cooking, crafting, building, or poetry. I think these positive avenues help to keep us from going bonkers. I appreciate you sharing your vulnerability. You keep it real my friend. Hugs and smooches! 😊💖😘💋🤗
I so much agree with you dear Kym! Whatever it takes is exactly right and seize the moment. Life is unpredictable and we just never know from one minute to the next. In this moment, I’m sending love and celebrating our moment together! Cheers xo
Oh my dear Cindy, I will drink to that sistah! 🍷🍾🍹🥂🥃🍸🥤🍻 We are off to great days ahead, even if the road gets a little muddy! 🚗🚜🚍 We get through it FANtabulously dawwwwlinkkkkk! That’s just how we roll!!! 😊💖😘
Yes indeed.. we will need to build some mogal mudding sleds .. cheers to that my fabuloso friend and cheers to all of that and more daaawlink! 🥂💞I’m back with my emojis.. YAY. thank God for small favors.. lol 💞
Whoooohooooo for emoji’s! 😂 Love you much dawwwlinkkkkk! 😍💖🥰💋😘
I’m back 💗❤️👏🥰
Yeah baby!!! 😍😘🤩

Awww love you more my dawwwwlink 💗💞❤️

Hi Cindy. You poem was moving. And yes, I saw all about the bomb cyclone. How frightening that crazy storm was and the crazy weather in California, especially. I’m glad you are well. Hugs <3
Thank you so much Debbie. I’m so happy you liked my poem. Crazy to hear it being called a bomb cyclone. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected that in California. Thanks so much. Hugs back to you!
💞
The world has gone mad my friend! <3
ain’t it the truth! ❣️
<3
I’m praying for y’all. My parents grew up in the Bay Area and I went back every summer growing up.
Thanks so much.. oh it’s a lovely place and sounds like a wonderful time. I hope you get this .. I had to approve it! 💞
The poem😍
Loved it, Cindy.
Take care of yourself!
Thanks so much Vidah. So much appreciated! 💗 Will do! ❣️
A beautiful poem Cindy! Take care in those extreme weather conditions 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you so much Ingrid!!! So much appreciated! 💗 💞
What the oak!!
You please take care, stay safe and stay protected.
It sure was. Thanks a lot Devang!! 💞🙏🏼
OMG! Are you sure you haven’t been transported to NY? That looks more like East Coast weather! So so sorry you all are experiencing such awful conditions. The world has gone off kilter; could the sins of the few be affecting the lives of the many? That’s a topic for another story. Superb verse, Cindy G! Take good care out there, my friend! ❤️🩹
It sure appears as such for sure Nancy! Nothing is normal and that is definitely a subject with many tenches for sure and i’m sure ai’ll read about it in one of your lovely stories. Glad you liked my verse dear and thanks for the wishes. 💗
Take good care of yourselves. Stay safe, healthy and be careful. It’s a jungle out there! ❤️
You too Nanc.. it really is at the moment. visiting soon.
Cindy, great poem, about a tough subject. Thanks for sharing pictures of the devastation. Keith
Thank you so much Keith,. It really is tough for so many. You’re so welcome! ❣️
I like this poem alot
Thank you so much Yam! 🙏🏼
Mine pleasure dear 🙂
❤️
I love your poem, Cindy, and the idea of togetherness. It’s so important. My word for 2023 is ‘connection’ as I feel it is so important to connect with others in this odd world of ours. It’s something I want to work on in my own life this year. We need each other.
I’m sorry you’re being so badly affected by the weather out there, whether it be floods (the video was terrifying – so much damage to cars and property, and no doubt, people, too) or drought. I hope you get the rain where you need it and not more floods. It’s all because of climate change, which is frightening.
How sad about the old oak tree. I hate to see trees come down like that, especially the old ones. I think of all the wildlife that lived in that tree and how their home has been taken away now. Thank goodness your mother and stepdad’s house wasn’t damaged and that they were safe, too. I wish you and your family well and hope that you’re not affected by any more climate disasters in the near future. Xx 🙏💖
Thank you so much Ellie. I’m delighted you enjoyed it and you are so right about it all being about connection. We are all connected for sure and every little thing that crosses our path.
I love your word.
Thanks for the wishes. My idea of rain is to rain every night and then clear in the day.. but I don’t get to choose sadly.
It was soooo sad about the oak and all the others that are dropping, thanks! One thing is awesome and that’s how desperately we need the rain. Thanks for your kind wishes.
xx
Your poem could be a wedding vow, Cindy. Here, we have a saying: “Turn around. Don’t drown.” Yikes, it’s sad to see all that flooding and to think of so many people affected. I saw the flooding in Santa Cruz on the news last night. My oldest lives in Northern CA, north of Sacramento. He’s grateful for the lakes filling up, but other than that, he’s sick about the flooding in his state. I’m sorry about the old oak tree coming down. Glad no one was injured. Be well and safe.
Hahahahahaha Yes for sure that is needed for marriages as well Mary. Turn arounds, don’t drown sounds about right. Pretty brutal for sure. I’m hoping the worst is over but hearing otherwise. Glad your son is safe and Yes to the lakes filling up. God we need that!
Yes, thank goodness no one has been injured that I know. Thanks Mary..
