Knowing that an ocean surge can devastate the land and that the aftermath continues as each and every plant continues to die and how much worse it gets and looks in the continuing weeks…
Knowing that the cleanup seems unending…
Knowing that the struggle to get through another day seems to go on unending…
Knowing that watching a bulldozer working to move debris from your street and wondering where will it all go, and how will you ever get it back…
Knowing that hearts and minds are tested to the limit…
Knowing that no matter how well your home is built, it simply won't matter…
Knowing that a single smile from a volunteer and a hug can lift spirits higher than imagined…
This post is for all those going as volunteers to help in this time of crisis. With strong will, determination and the generosity of those volunteers, there is hope on the horizon.
Some great, but sad, photos in this essay, thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank god for volunteers and the kindness of strangers.
