resilience

They're counting on nature's resilience to break down and neutralize the pollutants in the water they are pumping back into Lake Pontchartrain. I keep thinking about what it means to be resilient, and come back into health, after having been shut down, stomped on or silenced.

And I'm amazed at how quickly the media has de-prioritized the catastrophe. With thousands perhaps still waiting to be rescued, how can this NOT still be the lead story on any national media outlet?

I have more questions than answers.

Saw a peregrine falcon today. Stunning. Binoculars helped. The world is easier to take in a narrowly-focused circle of glass.

Nugget Head found his way onto our tiny terrace to lie in the sun. Warm, well-fed, not a care in the world. Must be nice.
