The critical period is past.

The floods are there. The area covered by water is the size of a small country. Many communities and people are suffering. Still, however, there is no water my way while it is so close. It just makes you wonder. There are many conflicting stories about what will happen. In part, it is because no one really knows as what is at work is Mother Nature. She is running the show. I guess it also depends who you are and where you are. If you are in the floods, all looks bleak and the worst is happening. Watching it from central Bangkok, it is still the unknown which is playing the upper hand. It is like being in a city under siege.

This living on hold, waiting for something terrible to happen, has been going on for so long now. It causes its own stress. After so long, you just think that you can't keep living like this. You wonder what is even being played out - reality or someone's version of reality? So you just get on with life and not focus on what may happen but on what is before you. Que sera, sera, as Doris Day once sang.
