I remember how shocked i was as to the spirit of the people in the lower 9th and plaquemines. Standing with roof tops to my knee and people asking us how *we're* doing - i ... just lost for words. I know we're forever changed by all of it - the disaster of course, but the kindness of the people i met, the spirit to keep going, the graditude, ...
actually my T at the time was from there, and i called her 2 and 3 times a week. it's like a different life - all of it. And yet, so close when i see certain things; blue tarps on any house, pelicans, ..for the longest time everytime i crossed our river here, i thought it was the mississippi.
i have to pull my thoughts back - i'm on my way out the door.
talk with you later, kiya
