We are having multiple earthquakes at all hours of the day here in Berkeley, the most recent one happened at 5:30 this morning. Local officials have warned us for years that we are way overdue for a huge earthquake and most of us have a stash of survival supplies in our backyards.
Earthquakes are a continual reminder to ask "what really matters to me?"
While I can philosophize about the answer to that question on a calm day, life becomes raw reality in the middle of an earthquake.
As an artist, some of us may have thousands of designs stored on our computers, and even though I have online backup storage, I still found myself grabbing my laptop and running out the front door with it, which made me realize how much of our life is on the computer (and how heavy a laptop becomes when you run with it).
What about you? What is the first thing you would grab on the way out the door?
