I've been watching Katrina advance on the Gulf Coast. Brings back memories of several personal hurricane experiences while I was living close to Pamlico Sound in NC. Intense time of fear, grief and feelings of loss. These storms create transitional experiences in our lives as well as cleansing and rejuvenating the planet. But they are very frightening to go through especially alone. I felt like I was experiencing a rite of passage since I was newly divorced after a long term marriage. I pray for all the people who are now feeling the effects of this storm. I am attaching a great shot of my grandson in Namaskar (Sanscrit translation albiet loosely, I celebrate and honor the God in all creatures.) I don't know if you can see the photo as clearly as I can but the milfoil weed in the Lake is visible esp in the right foreground. I like this shot and now have it as wallpaper on my computer. Wednesday night we are going to the Lake George Dinner Theater for my actual birthday. I feel very detached from this birthday year since I don't feel my age. This birthday celebration just goes on though with a picnic on the 4th. Don't get me wrong, I love every minute of it. I am feeling the nostalgia of leaving on the 7th. Please continue to pray for all those affected by the storm in the Gulf.
