It’s December 19, 1981. Nikki, Eileen, and young Darrell board the ferry Stena Normandica in Fishguard, Wales, happily anticipating Christmas and New Year’s with friends and family in Ireland. But this ordinary start to their holiday travels soon transforms into an adventure they will be lucky to survive, and it will link them forever in heart and mind to a tragedy unfolding nearby: the Penlee lifeboat disaster. What does the foregoing have to do with Hurricane Alicia, a storm that struck Texas in 1983? Is there a deeper context for our lives than we usually realize? Storms affect each of us at some point, and these are stormy times of great shifts and spiritual growth on our planet. How do we adroitly navigate them?
