An earthquake woke me up at 5am. This is not a metaphor. Although it does get me thinking about metaphors, mortality, and whether or not I am prepared for "the big one." It is a strange thing to prepare for catastrophe. I suppose the alternative is to choose to be in denial about it all together. This piece is about finding a healthy level of denial in order to stay sane.
