Kiss the Caterpillar Good-bye

My dear friend Mary Kay Deen, who now infuses heaven and earth with her light, had a favorite saying for young people graduating from the Starfish Café training program: “The hardest day of a butterfly’s life is the day it kisses the caterpillar good-bye.” Maybe this day, this tenth anniversary of Katrina, is the day…

A few gulls almost still. Dolphins surfacing very near. Then a school of fish jumped, creating brilliant silver white images in the air. No little…

Approaching the Tenth Anniversary of Katrina

  The waves on the Ross Barnett Reservoir where I live were gently rolling and dimpling this morning, just enough for the inspiration of wind and water. And yet what I saw in them was images of the roaring water that took our homes and our treasures and some of our lives ten years ago…

To Help Post Disaster…

When disaster strikes, concerned people everywhere want to help. Those nearby want to go immediately, chainsaws in hand, garbage bags in hand. It is a wonderful impulse. Sometimes the community can use help immediately; sometimes they need a few days to finish Search and Rescue and to get organized with work orders so that your…

What Survivors Do First

The first days after a disaster are filled with chaos and discovery after discovery of what we and our neighbors have lost. It is common to be confused, have a hard time making decisions, and wonder what to do. As one who has been there, I offer these first essential actions. In later blogs I…
