Name the top 3 ways disasters like Hurricane Sandy or Federal Elections have changed your life?11/3/2012 Photo from jimsonlinejournal.blogspot.com According to Newton's laws of motion: "objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." These objects, once acted upon by said unbalanced force, go back to their original status quo. The question is: Are we, as humans, also subject to that principle? I believe that children are more mutable and impressionable that way. Once disasters & elections pass, adults rebuild, reorganize and put everything into perspective. Meanwhile children are developing their personalities in light of this new reality. Based on my feelings during and post Hurricane Juan, one of the characters in my second novel, Sabine, witnesses a storm as a child and it changes the course of her life profoundly. Here's a one-page excerpt of how the legendary wind known as Le Suete begins to impact Sabine's life. Hope you're all enjoying the weekend, TartanFrog
