Even we
who only witness
the aftermath of the
Storm
feel an emptiness,
empathy,
and care
for friends,
family,
and strangers
who are just now
living the challenge.
Do what you are able,
but do not despair.

A lovely post - and let's think of the countries that have been affected much worse than the USA - for example, Cuba and Haiti.
Sf films are about disaster. That's an interesting statement. my first response was to reject it but maybe I need to give it more thought.
Awwww I love that putty tat! Show us more pleeeeease!!
Aloha Cloudia- very comforting words, encouraging us to live out loud and I shall be singing all day long!- Karen
loved the shakespearean message. :)

True and beautiful. Thank you, my friend.
Water is nice when it is where we want it. The sound of the ocean waves and blue sea is wonderful and calm. Wish it wasn't misbehaving back East. Makes a big mess. The old photos where Mad Mother Nature has hit before are interesting to see. So much has been built up, just asking to be knocked down. Prayers said. Like the saying that "pets are people too," as a nurse I can say that "hospitals are buildings too," and can have trouble in such horrid storms. (Gotta stop watching Piers on CNN.) DrumMajor
I love you, my friends.
Thank you
Cloudia,
You have powerful credentials involved in many community projects. I'm in awe, Ma'am!
Your postings tell me you are also artistically inclined and very talented.
It's sad that the eastern coast gets the brunt of the disaster.
