When


When cell phone towers are down ~
communications are disjointed and disconnected.

When brown outs occur ~
electricity to our homes and businesses darken and grow cold.

When floods rage through our communities ~
the stuff of life is drowned, soiled and damaged.

When addiction is denied and allowed to go unchecked ~
communication is disjointed and disconnected
spirit darkens and grows cold ~ or rages out of control
the stuff of life is drowned, soiled and damaged.

When there is recovery from addiction
communication can be restored
spirit can glow brightly once more
the stuff of life can be reclaimed, cleaned up and repaired

Whether we deny responsibility for 
addictions care or community infrastructures
individuals, families and communities are in jeopardy.

“Another way to lose control is to ignore
something when you should address it.”
~ Jim Evans
