Yesterday, there was storm predicted
for my area.
In the morning,
the skies remained clear.
There was no additional snow
on the ground.
If you merely looked out
the window
(which many leaders did),
you wouldn’t cancel school.
Except…
the winds were
EXTREMELY strong.
As in…
some adults couldn’t walk
without falling over strong.
Kids got hurt.
They fell.
They were hit by
flying branches.
School should have been
canceled.
We notice the obvious threats
to our safety,
to our futures,
to our businesses.
Those threats smack us
right in the face.
We can’t avoid seeing them.
The not-so-obvious threats
are the biggest dangers
to us.
We have to look for them.
We have to pay attention
to notice them.
Look for
the not-so-obvious threats.
