Mary Firestone survived the unthinkable. In 2018 she lived through the Montecito mudslide that dropped 200 million gallons of rainfall in 15 minutes, washing away her home. Trapped alone in her bathroom while pregnant, not sure if her husband and four-year-old son were still alive, she wasn’t thinking that her trauma was a gift in disguise. Yet, as she began her journey to healing, this is exactly what she discovered.

SOMETIMES

Original Poem by Allié McGuire

Sometimes voices

Not heard but seen

Offer lines

To read between.

Sometimes statements

Are made by action,

Not by words

With potential retraction.

Sometimes cries

Made in silence

Move the needle 

And evade the violence.

Sometimes voices

Are fervently raised

In stillness and silence

To be equally praised.
