That it is such a mess more than six months later speaks volumes about the extent of the damage. I'm glad that the college students and so many others are helping. Does it feel insurmountable to them?
I saw pictures of George Bush there with his sleeves rolled up. Where is he now? Your daughter give me hope that her generation will repair the damage that this administration has done to the world through both its actions and inaction.
So much repair still needs to be done. The reports I receive from family that lives there and friends who just visited last week tell tales of unfathomable cleanup that still needs to be done. Please thank your daughter for her efforts. The spirit of the young people throughout the country gives me hope for a future, not only for NOLA but for the country as well.
Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

And you have every reason to be proud of that college student.

She's doing an amazing job. Looks like a never-ending one, too.

When she comes home, please give her a hug for me!
