For days most of us have been assailed with horrifying images detailing the tragic chaos on the Gulf Coast. Although I hate forwards, I opened one today to see this image...and it was refreshing to see a spot in the world that is brimming with life and beauty. Just for a minute, I was able to give my heart and eyes a rest from the distress of what's happening..my stomach turns at the thought of those who don't have the same luxury, whose reality is quite literally a nightmare today. God help them.
